Man, Kayla is Fioonee 🥹

[@Cnote1]

cap

[@alexvargas613]

Last year, he should have sat, now this year you're worried that he is not playing in the PRESEASON.

[@The_Barefoot_Wrestler8824]

I don't know what to expect because I would assume this team is going to have a lot of guys in and out of the line up by design and circumstance .. So for example, if they are a 3 or 4 seed maybe, it wouldn't surprise me because it might be hard to gain consistency . what is most important is getting Joel 100 percent healthy to the playoffs and don't run PG out of gas, maybe by the time the end of season is here this team can be in sync and playing its best ball. East is a dog fight this year. Everyone is worried about the top 2 teams Ny, Boston but also the next 4-5 teams could win 50 games . Bucks still have one of the top 5 players in the conference, the coach is a idiot but we all know he is worth 50 wins in the regular season when it don't matter. Pacers are only going to get better, the Cavs also.

[@AndreRorie]

The media in Philly is the worst 😒

[@mistasandman8996]

Joel Embiid entered the NBA with chronic injuries problems. Similar to Bill Walton, Ralph Sampson and Greg Oden. Modern medical technology has got him this far but we have to realize that his body can’t carry a team throughout the season and playoffs. Maxey needs to be our number one scoring threat

[@phillyrich3249]

Our big three May only play 30 games together

[@iverson3018]

I’m really worried. It’s only October and we are already talking about Joel knee🥴

[@philabul]

I dont care bout chemistry more than i care about EMbiid's HEALTH

[@AndreRorie]

What's crazy 🤪 is none of the media really can't play basketball 😊

[@quickis35]

This first game is not going to prove much of anything. It’s going to take at least the first 10 regular season games for guys to feel each other out and get a good feel for their roles. If Embiid is going to to be out early then that timeline should be pushed out to properly evaluate this team

[@robertsdownes6702]

I'm not worried. Embiid will play and play well.

[@ashamsthomas2490]

Lol...the process never ends

[@philabul]

back to back days for Pompey ...first questioning pg now embiid......smh...please get someone else to do locked on sixers...

[@leninfranco9328]

the big disable 3 lol

[@cedricmallory6414]

That knee wasn’t good He gimped along to a gold medal Team USA wouldn’t have won it w/o him What seemed like his bucket list item They wouldn’t have beat Jokic w/o embiid Now I’m ok with him resting and not stressing that knee through preseason He’s participated in the drills I have mixed feelings about him not being on the road trip How much does moral support really help this team? We added veterans that been through playoff wars So we’ll be ok

[@thommccarthy1139]

Phillies done time for extreme overreaction to 76ers preseason we are so back!

[@philabul]

exactly

[@romelsligh2788]

He’s never healthy when he’s needed the most
