Well sixer Nation we finally have an update on Joel embiid it is not good we’ll talk about the details but now the question becomes what does this team do next we’ll break all of it down here on Philly take with RB perfect Perfect what is up everybody RB here welcome into the show you know the drill hit the like button subscribe cribe to the channel ring the bell so you don’t miss any of the coverage I literally just stepped foot inside and boom we get hit with a breaking news bomb from

Adrien wowski we’ll get to that and we’ll talk about what I believe should happen next because I have a message for a lot of people out there they’re not going to want to hear it they’re not going to like it but it has to be said

But I want sixer Nation to drop their thoughts down below sound off in the comments right now what do you think they should do what should their strategy be next so they pun on the season do they still try to be competitive what should their next step

Be should Joel embiid even return at some point here in the timeline give me all your thoughts down below and before we jump into mine a shout out to our sponsor of today’s video shout out to the sponsor of today’s video Southern New Hampshire University it is

Check it out click the link down below snhu.edu Filly take all right man let’s jump into it so unfortunately we got the inevitable as it feels to me the breaking news bond from Adrien walski breaking sixer star Joel andb the reigning MVP will undergo a procedure

This week to repair a torn left miniscus injury A Team official tells ESPN a recover every timeline is expected after the procedure but expectation is that he will miss an extended period of time now in a way this reporting pisses me off because like just tell us bro just tell

Us he’s going to miss two months or three months like oh a recover is expected after a procedure first it was we’ll hear by Saturday then we’ll hear by the end of the weekend just tell us tell us the inevitable tell us what we already know okay it is a serious injury

And they consulta between two different ideas do they try to do the rest and rehab and you know hope you don’t end up poking It Wide Open and things get worse and just hope you can hang on or do you go the more sensible route take the more

Sensible route for the guy’s Health as a human being and get the surgery and hope that it heals down the line there’s been a lot of talk and debate about that the last couple days but they do elect to go with the surgery now on this thread I

Just saw this a doctor actually commented under the thread and here’s what he said quote if the word repair is being used correctly that means they are actually performing a miniscus repair which has a timeline of four to 6 months this is best for long-term results if

This is the case keep in mind like these don’t really have blood circulation that well and like from doing all the research and reading up on it the last couple days like we’re talking about the man’s health being in Jeopardy not just as a basketball player I’m talking about

As a human keep in mind he had the same injury back in 2016 he missed last 37 games of the year he played the RoR miniscus against the Hawks in the playoffs and you know you got to keep him in mind first and foremost so we’ll

Get to that a little bit later on here but Shams also put out a similar tweet w beat him to it this time but sham says Jo and be will have a corrective procedure this week to address an injury to the lateral miniscus sources say embid surgery will address a displaced

Flap of the meniscus he will be sideline for extended period of time we get it with the extended period he’s going to miss significant time and now that pose three questions to me so when I ask you what do the Sixers do I think it comes down to a couple easy questions all

Right and I’ll give you my opinion on it but here’s what it comes down to number one what do the Sixers do at the trade deadline right Zack LaVine was ruled out for the season uh yesterday and we got some little reports today about a potential buyout candidate signing with

Kyle Lowry and we know that’s not not going to move the needle or anything like that the main talk has been should the Sixers get a third star they go out and try to get somebody even though there’s not that many options out there should they try to get maybe D rozan or

Dejonte Murray or do they go the role player route and now after this injury it’s do they do anything do they just kind of let the chips fall where they may we know darl Mor’s Innovative cap space plan has the Sixers projected to have over 50 plus mil in cap space so

They just kind of let it play out hope that Joel andb comes back in the playoffs and they can make a run with their healthy squad or do they go and try to get maybe one or two little pieces and and hope that those guys can help maybe guys that are under contract

For the next couple years so you know you can still add on some pieces or do they still try to go in make a big push hope and pray that Joel comes back healthy and try to make a push for the championship because right now your Championship hopes are feeling very

Bleak especially with the other injuries keep in mind it f it feels like this team has had five guys injured and out for the last two months number two question here that I have is is can Joel and be come back healthy and actually be in shape for the playoffs cuz a couple

Days ago when everybody said to me and I thought it was completely idiotic oh this is a blessing in disguise oh he’s going to come back and be healthy now for the playoffs and be ready to go there are so many factors that go into that number one you still have to get

Back to that chemistry of the team right that flow cuz with and without Joel you’re playing two completely different games second it takes a guy a little bit to get into Rhythm takes a guy you know a little bit to get his feed under him and we don’t know how this injury will

Impact him and and also his conditioning we’ve seen it takes a couple weeks for Joel embid to really get in his zone so that’s the second thing I have and you know it it’s just starting to feel very dim at this point and I’m not going to keep going back to the revisionist

History but you know I am frustrated that he played in that Warriors game he was already injured tried to play through it sustained another injury should have never been in that game and hopefully this is another Learning lesson even though they never seem to learn for the Sixers for office and

Organization there’s no way that he should have been playing that game and I don’t care you guys can fight me you know to the death of it but he should not have been in that game he should have been pulled in the first quarter it’s ridiculous and now you risk the

Guy’s Health again number three can the Sixers stay afloat in the East without him and and I think this is the most important question because you know people just seem to think that the rest of the squad can step up we saw one really fantastic game from Tyrese Maxi we saw

One absolutely out of the gym performance from Tyrese Maxi and the next night he didn’t look like he could do anything Tobias Harris banged up Melton has been out for like a month Covington even they they talked to Nick nurse today about Covington he said there’s no light at the end of the

Tunnel what does that mean Covington’s done all these guys are injured in and out of the lineup and based on how this Sixers team looks without joelan beid I think we can all confidently say like he is by definition the by far most valuable player of this league like just

With and without him not even just the offense but the defense it’s two completely different ball games the Sixers got blown out by the Nets and now they’re going to have to find some holes that they can patch maybe they go out and get a backup big or or whatever for

The deadline but it’s going to be really hard to keep up and stay afloat especially when you have the Knicks winning how they are you know the Cavs are winning bucks obviously with Doc Rivers will be interesting but the Celtics seem to be running away with it

There’s a lot of teams and I expect some to get better in the following days the question is can the Sixers get that much better to stay above water and tread water until Joel and B comes back it’s just a very tough ask and I just I’m not

Trying to be the Negative Nancy here but it almost feels in a way that the season is over that it it’s almost better to just kind of go with the flow see how it plays out and and and you know you go from there in the off season when you

Have all this cap space but I’m going to give a final message here and as you can tell I I’m almost leaning towards that way maybe you make one or two little moves you get another Center in here to try to fulfill some minutes and maybe

Get like a backup guard like a Brogden or whatever but you know you have to hope and pray because again when this Sixers team was healthy they were really really really solid you just have to hope and pray you can get back to that led by Joel embiid but now with this

Injury we don’t know if he’s going to be the 35 Point per game guy even when he comes back so my message for the Sixers and I know you guys won’t like this but it’s time to shut joeel andb down not only for this team but for him as a

Person obviously he was dealing with stuff for a while you know for a month or so and they didn’t take good care of him and now you’re risking the guy’s Health yet again you have to hope he can come back not even this season but I’m talking about in the future in future

Seasons you start to rack up these injuries it’s not going to be good not only for his physical health but his mental health how do you think he’s feeling right now all the guy does is Elevate his game to another level and every single year it results in the same

Outcome of him getting injured in a devastating Manner and it’s frustrating and it’s annoying and one more thing I want to say too is that I keep hearing people say oh he’s out of shape he’s out of shape Joel might be in the best damn shape of his career okay he’s worked to

This point what it is is his play style we are realizing that for a guy that’s 72 280 he can’t be jumping 5iv feet off the floor every play being used on 90% of the offense and doing it on a nightly basis as spectacular as he is as the

Demand is so great you know when it comes to the def defense and they have to guard him in every which way and you can’t even stop him as great as the magnitude is of his game it also comes with the fact that we’ve never seen a

Guy of that caliber of that size Etc be able to do these type of things and as he continues to try to do more it results in more injuries so maybe the best option going forward is to have him be not a number two option but to you

Know have another guy come in here and take a lot of the load off his plate every single night that’s really all I can think of it’s definitely his play style it’s frustrating and here the Sixers are with yet another joeel embiid hopefully it’s not season

Ending but it almost feels like you know you’re you’re in the pit now so you got to wait and see and and find out what the timetable is but ladies and gentlemen I believe if there is any sight of injury unless he can come back perfectly healthy all right and he looks

Good like himself it’s time to shut Joel andb down and take his health into consideration and and look towards the future as darl Mory has continued to plan to do those are my thoughts give me your Down Below in the comments section appreciate everybody for tuning in be

  1. When will this fanbase understand that Embiid will NEVER be close to 100% in the playoffs again in his career. The 76ers should trade Embiid and get a haul for him now. Embiid shouldn’t be the number option on a championship team because he’s NEVER reliable when it’s playoff time, his play style is flawed him the playoffs against better defensive teams, and the team continues to play 2 different styles offensively because of him. They have no true team identity offensively…His health is going to keep deteriorating as he ages and remember, Embiid isn’t going to playing long in years in the NBA. So the organization should trade him and just rebuild. As a fanbase, this squad hasn’t been able to get out of the 2nd round in like forever… nothing is going to change with Embiid being the number one option… 76ers should just trade Embiid.

  2. its a good season to do it because the cap will clear and they can reset the roster entirely for next year, Embiid should not feel pressure to return, just get healthy for next year unless he feels he can go at some point later this year at full health.

  3. Of course. It's not a thru snd thru tear; otherwise they wouldn't even be debating. This has been here for at least a month. The mid season injury is one of my low key favorite things because it allows you to go into the playoffs fresh. Its a 4 to 6 week debridement. It's not a conplete thru and thru tear.

  4. Go out and get Jimmy Butler and then you got to get another big man so MB comes back. He can play a little bit and he can sit because you got two big men on the team.

  5. RB it was over even before this. Come on man LY was there chance. Everyone loves Joel more then the team. I'm a Sixers fan I want them to win titles. Sorry let's do this yet again with Joel next year. It's fking exhausting and it's gonna get worse with this guy

  6. There is no way morey would trade embiid…it all in or bust with embiid….from sources morey could have traded bum simmons for haliburton and he said no….that says it all right there…..

  7. So you want him to retire? He's gonna get injured if he's playing basketball or at least he will accumulate wear and tear. It is what it is. If you shut him down for the season he's still gonna get injured next year at some point most likely and he'll be a year older. I dunno. Maybe you do shut him down but then theres no point in even watching this team til next year except maybe to see what Maxey can do. Maybe get us out of the first round? This just plain sucks. Philly is cursed.

  8. I don't think Joel Embiid should not return this season, and the sixers need to get a solid back up and cut his minutes in half. No need to make any deals unless It's for a younger good player who has a good contract for a few years.

  9. i think someone said from doctor if didn't need surgery it would 4 to 6 week. if need surgery 4 to 6 months. season is over.

  10. I agree with you, RB. There is no way we are getting out of the 2nd round of the Playoffs if we get there at all! My opinion is for the team to let it play it out, shut down the big guy and let him come back healthy next year, and make good choices in FA and draft to give Nurse a good squad to win it all next year. Embiid has given us a chance every year he has elevated his game, and we owe not just the player, but the man and future hall of famer, the best opportunity to have a healthy and fulfilling life during and after basketball!

  11. So i guess we're not trading for Derozen and Drummond. Just wait for off-season and free agency.
