> Forgive the Bigfoot-esque photos but Embiid is in the way back of the facility (full camera zoom needed) doing some workouts with resistance bands

They’re overplaying his injury I think to catch the Celtics off guard
we’re so fucked
“And that’ll do it” – Marc Zumoff
Lot of guys here not knowing how physical therapy works. I won’t be surprised if he’s doing practices or even game speed 5v5 in like 2 days
Boston in 4
Saw a video of him moving around doing a leg exercise, he’s not in the ice chamber anymore
doc is a doomer
It’s Tuesday.
Jo is going to give it his all, he knows better than anyone else how much this team will need him against Boston. He likely won’t be 100% or even close but I’ll be shocked if he sits even 1 game.
Embiid will average 36/16/4 this series with lockdown defense. Trust the Process 🙏🏻
Yo, would someone put a lid on Doc? Why he saying all this shit? Either he has 0 self awareness or he’s already building in an excuse for if they lose another 2nd round matchup.
what do some of y’all think is happening? he has a sprained LCL! that may mean there’s a slight tear in there. the fact he’s getting around and doing light work after practice is very encouraging. we still have at least three more full days after today.
i’m not optimistic really but this is definitely not bad news overall.
He should be fine tbh he is just resting rn
He’s 100% not playing game 1. Unless Atlanta pulls a miracle and pushes the series start back a few days.
But I expect him back for the rest of the series.
damn, he’s out for sure. they are not gonna risk playing him and blow his knee out. MVP back to back is more important
Updates are useless until the next MRI results
Yeah im just going to wait for the update at midweek when the docs check him again.
This is all just regurgitated, not based on anything nonsense at this point.
He sprained his LCL we will know more later on this week no point being stressed about it till then.
Babe wake up it’s time for the yearly first round playoff Embiid injury into the predictable 2nd round loss where he’s playing limited and moping around the court
As expected. But man. Every year I feel like this.
Docs overplaying it so when embiid comes back looking like MVP embiid. This next part of the movie is gonna be good 🍿bring on Boston!
This situation would have been a disaster if they didn’t finish off that sweep
I don’t know why I thought this wouldn’t happen
If it’s really as bad as Doc is making out, you would be tight lipped about it… not willing sharing it via media.
The Celtics aren’t going to hall for this, so the only reason I think Doc might be doing this is so that the refs pay particular attention to Embiid and make sure he doesn’t get physically hacked too much.
