With the season shortly slipping away from the Philadelphia 76ers, it seems that some fingers are being pointed at star middle Joel Embiid.
In an look Wednesday on “NBA As we speak,” Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Embiid and the 76ers are anticipated to take a seat down sooner or later and have a dialog about his well being.
Charania provides there have been some “frustrations” throughout the group in regards to the former NBA MVP Embiid’s lack of availability this season.
The seven-footer Embiid, who turns 31 in March, has struggled with accidents for many of his NBA profession and was restricted to only 39 video games final season as a consequence of a meniscus damage in his left knee. This season, Embiid’s well being has been even worse as he has appeared in a mere 13 of 42 video games for the 76ers.
Each continued points along with his left knee as well as other unrelated injuries have factored into his prolonged time missed this 12 months. Because it stands proper now, Embiid has not performed in a sport since Jan. 4, and there appears to be no telling when he is likely to be again on the ground this time round.
In fact, the 76ers’ woes go far deeper then simply Embiid. Different essential gamers have been hit by the injury bug, depth is a serious concern, and Paul George has regarded extra like John Ringo ever since Philly signed him to a four-year max contract over the offseason.
However as has been the case for some time now, the 76ers are inclined to go so far as Embiid takes them, so it is sensible that he’s getting plenty of the blame for his or her terrible 15-27 season.
