Hes only in the league because of Giannis...obviously. the more alarming stat is a few years back they actually gave him 10 minutes per game lol. He does seem to be an adequate defender at least.

You do realize that is a significant injury right?

Recovery can be up to 9 months depending on severity.

You do realize that people CAN die from the common cold right? No recovery time from death mister google doctor. That being said, no, a meniscus tear is not significant enough to "shit embiid down" for the rest of the year.

That is total BS. You don’t know what you are talking about here.

Why don’t you research that injury a little bit.

People can sometimes play through partial tears without missing much time.

But more complete tears require surgery and a time frame of months, not weeks.

You are wrong.

Seems way too early to call it one way or the other. But at the risk of repeating myself I don't think we will ever really see a fully healthy Embiid come the playoffs. Damn shame because he's a top 5 in the league talent...obviously. Best ability is availability and all that.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Whats the haul for Embiid look like? If Gobert gets 5 first rounders what's Joel get you? Does someone like OKC put something together that makes them absolutely ridiculous with Embiid but can survive without him?

The Stepien rule needs to go. It's 2024 not 1980.

I know exactly what I'm talking about about and I've had two acl surgeries, and MCL surgery, and have had several meniscus clean ups. You don't just say, shut him down for the season from a meniscus tear, especially without even waiting to hear from the doctors. That's a stupid hot take, and defending this hot takes is equally stupid.

He is also empty calories that could be used for a trade

Hyping the Thunder like they the next dynasty and shit.

Pretty funny that the only person here that has done that is actually a fan of that dynasty.

Embiid has a long and torturous history with his knees as well. This is the second meniscus issue he’s had in this knee. He is likely having his second meniscus surgery on this knee. I think for the long term health of the man and the asset season ending surgery should be the path.

Yep. I’m now shifting my perspective and thinking Wow! The Sixers actually got a lot more out of their Greg Oden than anyone should have ever expected.

A guy they never should’ve had

Milwaukee should’ve been contracted for taking Jabari “too slow to stay in front of my grandmother” Parker over embiid


Had embiid not gotten hurt at Kansas he goes 1-1, and so much so that he wouldn’t be a part of a Kevin love trade

Steph joins Towns as guys that scored 60 and lost this season.

I am not defending Perkins take at all.

I am clapping back at yours.

You made it seem like any meniscus injury is not a big deal.

Oden was never going to be Embiid but he'd have been fun to watch on the defensive end. Ceiling was probably Gobert.

We see this happen time to time though. At least he has hope and it isn't a Bo Jackson type situation.
