Nick Nurse On Joel Embiid:
“Extremely tough. I think, first of all, pretty serious, right? I think that’s the big thing you gotta keep in mind, but obviously, the timing’s not great. I think he was on an uptick as far as where he was going playing-wise and all that kind of stuff. So, it’s all a big bummer for him, first, and then everything else.”

Get rid of him he’s never there when the sixers need him
IDC if it takes both the Clips pics to trade Embiid, he’s gotta go this summer. I’m sure he won’t do the honorable thing and retire.
Very sad, we watch this team all year, Embiid is injury managed, just for this moment, and now injured again.
I’m genuinely hoping we lose in the play in so that we have even a slight chance of keeping our pick. It was a successful season compared to last year.
It’s been time to rebuild for 2 years. Should have gotten there pick back too. The clippers picks will at least be good picks old squad with no picks to improve.
You'll be giving this exact report a year from now (if he's still on the team). You may want to save it.
Injury management doesnt work for Embiid !!! its better to just play him more during the year to get better seeding sense hes fine during season .. when he gets injured is right before playoffs start or during playoffs .
The sixers need to rebuild man.
Better for Embiid to either retire or the Sixers get the most they can for him. It's like a bad nightmare every year with him. Also please fire Daryl Morey for creating most of this mess. The fans deserve much better.
He just returned from😢 major surgery , why would anyone think he would recover that quickly? He just need to try and get healthy for next season. At this point we just hope they give it there all to get as far as they can without Embiid.
Ever since he's been on the team, he's been nothing but a big bummer and overpaid one too
Trade him for a pair of snow tires
I give us a chance against Orlando!
Don’t know about any other fan but I just don’t care Biid is a Hoke I will root for team when the last Henkie deal is gone he is the worst available center in NBA history
Come on let it go…. fight to the death for what? More injuries? I hope it ends quickly. We've seen the chemistry when the team is complete. If it's not complete, protect your remaining players.
Nick Nurse getting fired is a won for me.
Bigger problem is the sixers misdiagnosed him again. He could’ve died. He could be returning sooner as apposed to not at all. The medical staff failed Embiid again
Injury prone….we need to pray🙌! He’s had an injury every season…I don’t like this. Hopefully, he can still regain his dominance next year. He can’t help what happened.
Bro he's washed it's been like 12 or 13 years Rebuild time
Sixers should beat the magic on Wednesday
None of it maters. We knew Embiid was done. This is a glorified preseason. They have to move him, take the money loss on him, and build around Maxey and VJ. We NEED a new era. This is over. Don't do this again next season.
Im getting bored of these postseasons lol
Damn ..Joel embiid was damaged coming out of college…leg injury…sixers took him..not surprised at all …need to trade him 😕 and move on next year..
Embum should just retire
they were not getting out of first round with or without him
