He looked fine, wasn't limping or anything - Now I'm not dumb enough to think if he's good enough to go out, dance and act wild then that means he can suit up and play..BUT..you have to think if he's getting thumbs up to go out and have fun without any limits, then hopefully good news is on its way post-draft.


So you actually went up to him and asked him how his foot was and he said I'm cool?

Bynum 2.0. Instead of hurting himself bowling he will hurt himself dancing.

Yup, I saw him late April at Down and he was doing the same thing so this time I went up to him and asked him how's the foot, & that these reports are killing us...his exact quote was "I'm cool, don't believe the media..I'm cool" then proceeded to drink his "coke".

inb4 Embiid is seen walking around in a boot. No one messes with Hinkie's smokescreens

Wished you guys didn't say anything at all about this until Friday: gotta support Hinkie's smokescreen :)

Uh oh, Embiid suffers setback per Woj

I love hearing this as much as the next guy, but let's remember that we already knew that he wasn't having pain, and didn't reinjure it, so obviously he wouldn't have a limp.

The whole thing is what it means long term for his foot.

I'm so confused now. Hinkie is playing with my mf'n emotions.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

Exactly..he wasn't having pain but the ct scan is what showed a "setback". Maybe his bone won't ever heal the way the docs hope it will but if he can play without pain, I say that's better than a ct scan shown 100% healing but him saying he has pain.

Looks more like a lochness monster.

Noel's name has come up in trade rumors, but not only does he expect to be at Sixers camp in the fall and continue to play for this team, he also expects to play with last year's third overall pick Joel Embiid, even though his right foot is not heeling as quickly as anticipated.

"I have no doubt that Joel is going to play basketball soon. Playing against him this summer a couple times, he looked great, he looked very healthy," Noel said.


Nerlens probably doesn't know much, but doesn't hurt to put this here I guess.
