He’ll be out at least a month. Anything under that is malpractice
I’d guess 6-8 weeks; if I’m the Sixers I’m resting him until 5 games out of the playoffs regardless

At this point there’s a slim chance he’ll meet the requirements, so I say you rest him for a while. Rather be the 7 seed going into the playoffs with a healthy Embiid than the 3 seed with him not 100%.

> Embiid is expected to travel back to Philadelphia and not join team in Utah, per official.
Without embiid out for weeks there’s zero shot we even make the playoffs I’m not even joking
Guessing his knee is still so swollen they haven’t even gotten a chance to do an MRI I’m so hurt for him
Can they just tell us if it’s season ending or not. Surely they’d know that by now
If he’s not gonna be eligible for awards you might as well put him in ice until April
This can’t be good…
That’s an acl
Can anyone share what Woj said on SportsCenter?
Can this organization just tell us what is going on one fucking time
Don’t see this as good or bad. Not sure what the panic is about.
Teams being purposely coy about injuries to players should’ve been harshly punished with the new CBA
All the blog boys and podcast losers are looking real fucking stupid now with the claiming bullshit about altitude, ducking and faking.
That being said the medical staff and embiid should be thinking long term and big picture instead of playing to meet 65 etc
I feel nothing
