Age itself is part of wear and tear, its a big difference between 20 and 30 no matter how many games you played.

Very proud the Knicks embarrassed this dude in the first round.
If he can't play maybe he should retire.
And his career ended 5 seasons earlyim not a "back in my day" dude, but this shyt is def some new NBA shyt.

He missed it because of injury
The man has had three knee surgeries. He's torn his mensicus twice on the left knee and once on the right. He's also a massive guy
Yall cant complain he's always hurt for the playoffs then get upset when the team tries to keep him healthy for it.
You can when the team and him go to the lengths they are to keep him "healthy". If he's already talking about never playing b2bs before the season even starts and missing the first game, if you need all that to just to play a couple extra months then you're not "healthy" enough to play 82 games. If you're not healthy enough to play the majority of a season you need to retire, just like Kawhi.He missed it because of injury

Missing the first game of the year for "rest" is embarrassing. Kills the ticket for fans who bought because he's supposed to be there because it's the first damn game and kills the game for networks. Nobody's winning except Embiid & Philly since they don't have to give refunds and they need to be held accountable

Faggit just signed a 3 year 190 million dollar extension.
He shouldn’t have taken the money if he wasn’t able to fulfill the contract obligations

At the end of the day, nobody gives a fukk about any of that shyt. The fans are paying to see star players. This is about the kids and the parents who are paying hundreds and thousands of dollars on these games. It’s only right that the stars are available, especially on opening night. there’s no room for excuses. He was off the preseason as well.
This is why you post on TheColi and aren't in control of a team.
You think the 76ers are going to be better off in the playoffs if they unnecessarily play their chronically-injured 7fter in every regular season game, only to run in the exact same obstacle they've done seemingly every year when he's hobbling all over the floor in the 1st round?
The same folks who gave him that contract are the same folks who've got him on game management.
You just contradicted yourself (in principle, anyway).Thats a false choice. Just because they have failed in the past doesn't mean this is a good idea.
If they cant make it through the regular season, chances are they cant make it through a playoff run
First you say this current strategy hasn't worked in the form of a 'ship, but when it's presented to you that Philly's previous strategy hasn't resulted in any success either, you then try to argue just because their previous strategy failed doesn't make this new one a good idea. What do you suggest they do then? Just run it back and do the same thing they did last season and the season before that, despite the fact that Embiid's body is ever-declining? Or do you think they should try something different, like I don't know, protecting their most valuable asset and taking a different course of action by making sure he's in the best state possible for when it matters most?
Just simply shrugging your shoulders with the plan of nxggas get injured everyday, b, and just throw him out there every game with absolute no foresight of what the consequences will be later in the season reeks of cats who've never been in a position of handling anything with any notable monetary value.
This does give them the best possible chance of winning, especially now, when we all know Embiid's body doesn't have long left.
Believe in load management brehs
I wonder if players even believe in it,or if they just like the free money and days off.

Being that tall with the extra weight/bad diet has put stress on the joints. Also him taking dives/bumps on the floor like a pro wrestler hasn't helped him either.
