The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Can't speak to the others, but Embiid's been injury prone since day 1 and PG has been injury prone for the past several years before the Sixers got him, so it's hard to put those 2 on the medical staff.

You could put PG on the Sixers FO for trading for a guy they knew was injury prone.

They stay injury prone because of stupidity in the medical staff.

Meh, I suppose that can be the case, but it's also true that some guys are just injury prone. Greg Odens knees weren't on his teams medical staff. When Andrew Bynum's knees fell off, he had one of the best surgeons in the world working on his knees and the Lakers trainer at the time, Gary Vitti was considered one of, if not the best, trainers in the league.

Don't know if Embiids issues are related to the Sixers medical staff, but I do know that when he started having issues, a lot of folks were concerned and pointing out that once bigs start having leg issues, they tend to not get better over time.

As for PG, I doubt the medical staffs of the Pacers, Thunder, Clippers and now Sixers have all been stupid.

Embiid was broken when he entered the league.

Could be that the 6ers medical staff has helped him play as much and as long as he has.

Andrew bynum was a bowling bitch. Hurt him self rolling. What a clown he was. Just a tall clown. Should have went into the circus.

Really helping you now

True and I completely understand why he would want to play.

But, end of the day, the Olympic team isn't paying him $50 million per year to play for them like the Sixers are.

Bynum first was injured 01/13/08 when he dislocated his left kneecap in a game against the Grizzlies, then he tore the MCL in his right knee on 02/02/09 in a game against the Grizzlies (again). In the 2010 playoffs, he tore his meniscus but postponed the surgery until after the playoffs and played in all 23 playoff games the Lakers had. Those were just the injuries he had with the Lakers.

By the time he injured his knee bowling, his knees were shot. He could have just as easily injured it going up a flight of stairs or stepping off a curb...but he's Andrew Bynum so it had to be something weird like bowling. lol

Careful.

You can’t let facts get in the way of a crazy agenda.

Or to not play, as the case may be.

A bad basketball player

A bad basketball player

He was just hot at the beginning of the season. Extremely inconsistent but yet he will probably end the season around 40% from 3. Very deceiving. He can’t do anything else

Nice win without Mobley and not playing their best. Mitchell playing much better but it would be nice to see more consistency like we saw earlier in the year.
