Joel Embiid Out 2-4 Weeks With Orbital Fracture Surgery 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Mar 30, 2018 12:20 am

Joel Embiid could miss two to four weeks due to surgery for an orbital fracture of his left eye.


Embiid has also been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol.


Embiid collided with Markelle Fultz during Wednesday's game.

Fultz is the alpha now.

Hahahahah
Before fultz came back, Brett Brown mentioned that Fultz' biggest nightmare was hurting the team. Now fultz is probably never going to let this down, specially when they get swept in the 1st round....


Now the sixers will get swept by the Celtics (or whoever the 76ers face) in the first round thanks to fultz taking out embiid. Ainge probably planned this all somehow. Ainge knew fultz is clumsy so he sent him to play next to an injury prone player. The genius of Ainge is beyond comprehension

Without Embiid, I am not so confident anymore that the Sixers can win most of their remaining games to finish 3rd.

Its always funny to see you post on other places and yet when you post on the Sixers board you act like you are there as a "fan" of Fultz.

I really like Embiid, and I think he could be a great (legit great) player. But jeez...the injuries are piling up, aren't they?

This was a freak accident, and it did no damage to his legs / knees / feet...so that's good (good being relative). Would really like to see this guy have 2-3 seasons with minimal missed games.

Have you ever done anything to add to a conversation on this board or are you only able to troll the troll comments. We get it, you are in love with trolls, you are obviously infatuated with them. I dare you to post something with some actual content and actually contribute something of worth to the board. Just once... :lol: I can't think of a single instance in which you telling someone they were a troll did anything to add to the conversation, which makes you an even more pathetic troll, at least the other people you call trolls are commenting and adding content to the conversations. :crazy:

Agreed. It's a little discouraging that it's his healthiest season in 4 years (by far) and he missed a quarter of the season.

It was a freak accident that won't affect him in the future. It's not like he's going to re-injure his orbital bone. Had this freak injury not occurred he would have played 71 games.

Embiid's face is the sacrificial lamb.

You really think the first post warrants a thoughtful response? Blatant trolling from a known Sixers troll, spewing distasteful and factually incorrect garbage. Who TF would entertain a discussion about Danny Ainge predicting that Fultz would injure Embiid? Come on man. That's absurd.
