What a banner year it has been for Joel Hans Embiid.
He didn’t make his season debut until November 12th with some bizarre undisclosed lower body injury.
He has only played in 13 out of the Sixers' 39 games so far this season.
Apparently he injured his foot on a media rope during the Christmas game.
And now it looks like he’ll be out for at least another 7-10 days.
Is this fucking guy kidding me?
A swollen knee is a helluva long way from the heart.
At some point you have to question if Embiid is just hurt, or actually injured.
At some point you think he’d decide to just grind it out and play through the pain.
That’s if he had any heart or desire to be great.
I just don’t get how anybody can defend this guy anymore.
But he also never does himself any favors when it comes to avoiding them.
This is just what you get from Joel Embiid from now on.
Better to get used to it now than to expect anything different over these next few years.
The thing about 30-year-old 7-foot tall, 280 lb dudes is that they don’t often age with grace.
