It’s truly sad to see Embiid deteriorate like this, reminds me of Yao Ming.

Wrong side of 30 and might have to retire early.

The Sixers should tank and pray that the lottery gods are on their side so they can keep the pick. This dude is done.

Morey was also GM when he had to deal with Yao Ming.

Idk if dude is just unlucky or what building around injury prone centers.

Sixers have a lot of ground make up just to bare make the play-in. Maybe they should tank the season?

At this point, it's more surprising that he plays in Denver in the next several years.

He looked extremely sluggish during the Olympics, i'm not surprised. But I did think he would be okay to play by this time of the season.

Who cares about Denver?

He's not playing vs any teams at the moment. We might have seen the last of elite Embiid.

Embiid's body won't be able to handle the 20+ games required for a championship playoff run

Jokic vs Embiid was a fun topic not too long ago but Joel has kinda hit Bigfoot status for me at this point. Where is he and does he even exist? And why is he so tall and hairy?

This time he isn't ducking so i dont see the relevance. dude hasn't played in like a month with an undisclosed foot injury, now it's his chronic knee issues

He's going the Oden route, he'll retire before his contract ends

Cooper Flagg on the Sixers might be great for the league. A starting lineup of Embiid/Flagg/PG/Maxey/McCain might make to the conference finals next year.

When he is on the court, he’s actively attempting to injure other players, so personally, I don’t find this sad at all.
