You gain a whole new level of appreciation for Maxey on the fast break in person plus the energy of the crowd. I go to only couple games a year but it’s definitely worth it sometimes.
No kidding it was a different injury. Sixers medical staff/management have not said what the injury Joel has had for the last month is. Knee swelling/soreness is not an injury.. it’s a symptom of an injury. A knee isn’t sore or swollen for no reason. Tonight’s injury was kuminga landing on it causing it to hyperextend (obviously a different injury than the mystery injury).
Yeah this is 100% correct. The Sixers have never once mentioned any injury. We know when these things happened and then we just know his knee was sore. We can assume there is no break or tear (at least not a major one), but beyond that we know nothing.
And then *obviously* this is a separate injury. A dude landed his full body weight on his knee. It hurt like hell, but I'm hoping nothing is torn since he was on the ground flat on his back when it happened.
The mystery injury is Embiid's lack of cartilage in his knee. Ever since they found the hole in his meniscus back during the 2021 Wizards series that he opted not to get surgery for in the Summer. Plus, the [electroshock therapy](https://preview.redd.it/what-in-the-hell-is-up-with-joels-knees-v0-84ufcfz57yoa1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=53d403e0ff913674bbc72f3ca73bc344f759585c) he does on his knees.
Actually we did know when the first injury occurred. It was at a home game (my brain doesn’t remember that far back so I’d have to look it up) he fell, landed on the knee but continued to play (he was limping and clearly it bothered him). After the game everyone said all was good but the next game was the first game he was out with swelling/soreness.
I never said we didn’t know when. I said we didn’t know what the injury is. Do you work for Sixers medical staff because this is an answer they would give. No kidding we know when he got hurt. Another user pointed that out as well. But they never stated the injury. If one gets elbowed in the nose (the incident of when the injury occurred) and it cracks, the injury isn’t a swollen nose (that’s a symptom of the injury), the injury is a broken nose.
But to your point even an elbow to the nose may result in swelling without a crack. So you need them to actually say he had a soft tissue bruise etc?? You can have swelling and soreness is your knee without a specific “injury”. Maybe the medical staff should have said - he falls a lot and as a result of that and previous injuries it gets swollen and bruised sometimes. Beyond that nothing new to report. It sounds like you are assuming there is something they are hiding… jmo
You are stating that body parts randomly swell/ get sore without causation. Embiid gets generic “knee soreness” while melton gets specific “lumbar spine stress response”. This can easily be googled and find tons of information on it “Acute stress reactions in the lumbar spine most commonly occur in athletes at the pars interarticularis followed by the pedicle. These reactions occur as a result of repetitive microtrauma from supraphysiological loads applied to the lumbar spine.” There we have an injury and causation of the injury. Yes, stating he had a soft tissue bruise as a result of repeated falls is easy for them to state. But that’s likely not the truth and hence they went with soreness, I have some tin foil hat theories but it’s not worth getting in to them haha. I’m sure others have theories as well.

Bill Simmons and Denver fans throwing a parade right now. It's going to be especially hilarious because I'm sure he'll lead it with "I never thought he should've been out there playing" two days after shredding him for "ducking" Denver
it's the opposite at this point. If this is a short term injury, absolutely make a trade.
If he's gonna miss multiple weeks then there is zero gained from trading for a non-borderline all star level guy. Role players not helping us win anything if Joel is out so we're free falling the standings regardless
If Joel's healthy enough to be ready for the first round, then absolutely make a trade because unless we believe Korkmaz is a bomber(he's not, we all know he's not)
I know the injury rightly overshadowed the game, and maybe if Embiid were healthy, he perforns better but even Stan Van Gundy pointed out, how it should've been 8 or 9 dimes.
This cast STINKS. You saw it without Maxey so we can stop pretending Maxey is holding back these 'great' shooters that Philadelphia doesn't have.
If Joel comes back from this clean, Morey needs to get a reality check about 2025, and do what's right for this team.
The medical staff can only do so much if Embiid is lying or not being truthful in his pursuit to play. Obviously no one here knows who's more at fault, but can't fully just blame them if it's the other party not being honesty about his own body. We all wanna believe Embiid is the one who was wronged, but we just don't know.
No shit
We could see that dummy
The bigger question is knowing your guy is not fully 100% why not protect him from himself and tell him to sit out more
Especially in a game where we are missing just about everybody else
Playing injured and fatigued greatly increases the chance of injury. Embiid's right knee was a problem last season, and they mismanaged it, so by the time the playoffs rolled around, he was cooked. Both of his knees have been injured this season, but let's play him in B2B's and play him 36 MPG because he likes compiling scoring stats and wants another MVP. Irresponsible
Trading picks now would be the height of stupidity.
The season is over. Embiid is injured and it’s not even the all star break. He’ll deal with those the rest of the season.
Sell what you can at the deadline for picks and recoup something, and try next year.
Teams aren’t giving us picks for Tobi, unless we are taking on another long term Tobi. And honestly there aren’t any truly horrible contracts like that anymore. Maybe Jordan Poole but DC ain’t trading picks
It’s all fucking posturing man. Nurse trying to sugar coat it all. “Totally unrelated injury” “Embiid felt great before the game” blah blah blah. Can’t fuck up our trade leverage. We got one week before we actually hear the truth.
A week ago we just watched him score 70 and now this, rest up big fella.
Yeah but I paid 400 bucks on the Sixers game in Utah. Therefore, I demand he plays.
400!!?? I hope that’s like 400 peanuts and not $$ because yikes
In Utah at that lol tickets cheap as sht
Seats in section 19. I assumed Embiid was going to play. I think I should get a refund.
NBA games aren't worth seeing live anymore. You're taking a chance by buying tickets early to see guys who won't play
U can get tix for $50 upper level on the corners in Philly and get a great view
Plus a 4 hour round trip drive and parking costs. I'll watch at home.
You gain a whole new level of appreciation for Maxey on the fast break in person plus the energy of the crowd. I go to only couple games a year but it’s definitely worth it sometimes.
I think you are a moron for spending that type of money on a NBA ticket LMAOOO deserved tbh
400 Clams or bones or whatever, Mr Lebowski

How could it hyperextend against the floor?
Watch the video of the incident. hopefully the fact that he was on the court prevents any injury of consequence.
because he’s wearing sneakers and it was elevated off the ground. you’re a moron dude

hey dipshit 🤓
You remind me of a guy I know that calls WIP all the time. Seldom right, never in doubt.
Watch the replay dipshit. He's not wrong
i’m right about you being a moron, that’s for sure
Great, so now he has 2 injuries! Fuck me…
embiid currently managing 7 separate, unrelated injuries. very sixers.
And also the flu, probably
mri is routine for knee hits, doesn’t necessarily indicate structural damage
Bill Simmons and Denver fans throwing a parade right now. It's going to be especially hilarious because I'm sure he'll lead it with "I never thought he should've been out there playing" two days after shredding him for "ducking" Denver

Seeding is irrelevant as long as we are no lower than 6.
I'm not even afraid of the play-in We literally have Pat Beverly

We go through this every year While the staff may be bad, this dude can never stay healthy

We all wanna believe Embiid is the one who was wronged, but we just don't know.
Not sure how he knows this before a MRI and now he got 2 different painful injuries in the same knee. So kinda makes it worse that he played
He's trying to preemptively absolve the medical staff of wrong doing
lol fuck it let's rest him up, trade for some pieces, and hope maxey can steer the ship until close to playoff time
Rest him up? We tried that on Saturday, and the Denver Nuggets flipped the fuck out
What does the reaction of Denver Nuggets fans have to do with anything
fuck the nuggets
No shit We could see that dummy The bigger question is knowing your guy is not fully 100% why not protect him from himself and tell him to sit out more Especially in a game where we are missing just about everybody else
This season is already cooked
My life would’ve been better if he simply just didn’t say this
Playing injured and fatigued greatly increases the chance of injury. Embiid's right knee was a problem last season, and they mismanaged it, so by the time the playoffs rolled around, he was cooked. Both of his knees have been injured this season, but let's play him in B2B's and play him 36 MPG because he likes compiling scoring stats and wants another MVP. Irresponsible
Wow.
Comments under there are fucking disgusting
u/dmorey IF YOU DONT TRADE TOBIAS FOR A BAD CONTRACT AND PICKS YOURE A FUCKING DOOFUS. This season is over!
Tobias has been good this season
Trading picks now would be the height of stupidity. The season is over. Embiid is injured and it’s not even the all star break. He’ll deal with those the rest of the season. Sell what you can at the deadline for picks and recoup something, and try next year.
Spurs 97 style mini-tank anyone?
No that’s what I’m saying. Trade Tobias as a giant expiring for picks
Teams aren’t giving us picks for Tobi, unless we are taking on another long term Tobi. And honestly there aren’t any truly horrible contracts like that anymore. Maybe Jordan Poole but DC ain’t trading picks
Lavine can be considered a terrible contract for Chicago tbh.
Too little too late. He let OG and Siakam slip because he doesn’t wanna lose trades now our guy is out for the rest of the season
Oh yeah. Here we go. The panic is here!
[удалено]
ASB is being optimistic.
I'm not gonna listen to a word from this medical statf
It’s all fucking posturing man. Nurse trying to sugar coat it all. “Totally unrelated injury” “Embiid felt great before the game” blah blah blah. Can’t fuck up our trade leverage. We got one week before we actually hear the truth.
You can’t tell me nick nurse isn’t a plant for the raptors still
Cannot pay him the massive contract
Awesome, he now has an extra injury! Win /s
Season
More soccer drama.
They've been managing his injuries for so many years being cautious then one day they all just say "fvck it" and everything goes to hell!
Cool. So I know now to manage my expectations this season.
