Sixers got FINED 100k for Joel Embiid injury LIES | Shams ATTEMPTS to explain Sixers' plans

[@greeneggsandham91]

Nick Nurse actually sounds like he's in the same boat as a lot of the fanbase. Just fed up with the BS. "On we go." He just wants to coach basketball and not play these games with the media. His Rosenhaus style "next question" responses are actually the most transparent the organization has been with this situation. "He's not ready and my bosses won't let me say anything more."

This is the first time I can say with full confidence that the sixers 100% deserved this fine. Josh Harris and Daryl Morey PURPOSELY lied to the media and their fans about Embiid’s health status to sell tickets. Really a scumbag move to me. And, like you said, I am just done with the BS

Embiid didn't look right in the Olympics. I think he's still recovering and they're hiding that. Embiid was quoted that he came back too early last year which I believe he shouldn't have played. He should have recovered the rest of the season and playoffs and came back the following year. The owners are full of it.

[@Docwell]

So, basically he is injured but they don't want to say that because they don't want to lose money. Disgusting and pathetic franchise.

[@jonfisher6579]

Josh Harris and Daryl Morey are frauds! The strategy to sit him out periodically is stupid. They’ll end up a 6-8 seed and get bounced in the first round cuz they won’t have any chemistry.

[@tomjackson5952]

That's exactly what I've been thinking about as the news came out he's not playing tomorrow. In the past he was plagued with random injuries but I'm afraid the knee thing may be a chronic problem moving forward. I hope we are wrong but the extension doesn't look good at the moment.

He did have knee issues, and a stomach issue in April 2019. But that year and when we lost to Atlanta was a toss up of which one we should have won it all, we had a easy road when we lost to the hawks, and even in 19 we still had to get through Milwaukee, then eventually golden state

[@WawaMarvel]

Because he suffers from inflammation on injured parts! I keep saying this. Embiid practices and his knee inflames. You don’t have to have an injury to suffered from inflammation. They don’t want to have him practicing, inflammation, then throw him into a game. They gonna figure out the best way to have him practice and play. Especially in a way that gets him to April. I doubt he has an injury they are hiding.

[@bgbgbgbg2408]

This could work because the Eastern Conf. is Sooooo Bad. If the Sixers do the load management of Embiid and PG. They play in 60 games together win 36. Then they only have to win 5 more games to be 500. and be a 7th seed. They could be healthy for the playoffs and if lucky enough to catch lightning in a bottle to win the NBA championship. As we know, no real basket ball is played until the playoffs.

[@phillyrich3249]

DJ Eastwood keep this in mind in order for the Sixers to win a title with Joel. He will need to win at least 16 playoff games. The max that you can play in the playoffs is 28 games that’s if every series goes seven games. With that said add 40 seasonal games and you have anywhere from 56 to 68 games that he needs to play, at least for the sake of cohesion. My question when was the last time you got 68 games from Joel Embiid?

[@PeterDunbar]

And they still lyin lmao

[@timstar28]

This shit is pathetic. You're absolutely right, why is he not playing if he's healthy,? Just trade him if hes never going to play. This is just stupid. I wanna watch ball and build a good team, but all we ever do is talk about drama over this team.

[@cauepereira366]

DJ I got the frustration, but the reality is that he has knee injury and if they tell the truth, people would freak out even more. Better pay the fine, avoid the media and have all the backlash. His Knee has no meniscus and they will have to manage like this. Prepare for a long season, and hope for a healthy playoff

[@Chocokaylarobin]

Sixers Management or whoever is scemeing idk what kinda game they're playing where they're sitting him out like WTF are they doing. Sell the team to someone that knows how to manage it.

[@tomjackson5952]

Fine says they didn't violate the player participation policy but the team misreported Embiid's condition. Does this mean there was an injury or set-back even though they said there wasn't? They have been saying he is close for 2 weeks now but the man still hasn't played in a 5 x 5 practice scrimmage. I guess that's the next step in his ramp-up but when will that be? This initial investigation was triggered by the news released the day before the opener, so the Sixers will most likely fined again after todays news because they still aren't being straight about what's going on.

[@jamesheenan648]

This organisation is a joke. Im tired of this load management. These players should be payed for games played. If you are not playing for load management, then you dont get paid. What the hell was Embid playing in the Olympics for? That dude is soft.

It was the same with Bens back issues and mental health problems. Embiid might end ep being hated by the philly fanbase too because of how the franchise handles injuries. I get the hate he got. But the franchise was more to blame than Ben and the same goes this time around. Edit. Maybe what DJ said at 14:28 is true and the above statement is why. They effed that up beyond belief and would still have ptsd about it probably

[@MCC-fo1oe]

Ben was definitely at fault. Ben only cared about money. Stating he wasn't coming back to Philly and wants be traded, fine. But Philly didn't pay him for not showing up. Then he shows up in Philly to get his money. They suspend him for not being professional. Then he brings up mental health issues. Philly says they'll support him, Ben refuses their help. He gets traded, which he has to pass a physical for. Ben had working out this whole time. Now injuries can happen, but it's quite convenient the injury happens around the same time he files a grievance for money that Philly didn't pay him. It seems like he sat out just make a good case for his grievance to get his money...

Joel is wasting our time. I am sorry he isn’t serious about winning and never has been. He would have got in shape years ago - his knees are shot it’s too late now. I don’t know how old you are, but I am 40 and I had partial season tickets (my family did) from 98-03. Watching MJ, AI, Kobe - this is a disgrace. LeBron already is making the NBA at large WWE - and IMO it’s filtered down. Too many guys don’t care and the regular season feels less intense than NFL preseason. I miss when teams played differently - but most of all I miss the competition. I just don’t think Joel is serious about winning. He would like to win - but he has to want it more than the 29 other teams and he just doesn’t. I am not positive PG13 does either. Maxey does - he wants to win, you can tell. Anyway great content as always - hopefully they get it together and Embiid, PG, and Maxey do play some games and it’s fun.
