Bruh! Feel bad for dude who waited until today to get tickets thinking Jojo was available…
Well my evening is freed up now
Anyone wanna run 2K?
was looking forward to watching embiid play basketball.
I really don’t care as much as you all do that he’s not playing, we are down a bunch of starters, he was clearly under the weather, I’m not risking our playoffs over a stupid regular season game. If the team said keep him out they are keeping him out.
From Ball Arena,
He looked fine shooting free throws 40 min ago…
Yo. I’m really mad about this. I was still excited to see what Embiid can manage shorthanded on the road. No one had expectations we could win this. Fucking lame.
you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me Joel
No Jo no Maxey is gonna be UGLU
Jesus fucking Christ just let Embiid play there are no expectations they’d win this game. I fucking hate this team sometimes
Ppl thought embiid would compromise his health to appease r/nba trolls 😂
[deleted]
I love Embiid, but this is a bad look. Like come on man you should want to play in these kinds of games. You should get up for them.
They’ve should’ve just put him on the injury report, they look very fucking stupid right now
You idiots in the comments apparently can’t read. The training staff “made [the] decision for him to sit out vs. Denver”, he obviously didn’t make the decision for himself. He wouldn’t have been on the court warming up if he never intended to play.
Think the team gets fined for this one? Away game, national tv, wasn’t listed on the earlier injury report
The sixers med staff made the decision for him not him. Even said by WOJ.
Nuggets fan here hoping we could get another banger game and just saw the guys that are out, sadness
Shocking news.
only six more games
Knicks are about to overtake us very soon
this is really, really embarrassing.
whole fucking team is out man, this is brutal.
Sixers obviously happy to pay the NBA fine for this one.
training staff are dumb as fuck should have had him on the injury report yesterday but they pull him at gametime with no warning
This has the potential to be the funniest 76ers game of all time
I just really hope embiid’s knee is ok. But fuck the entire city of Denver can go fuck themselves
The depth will exposed, cavs winning without garland and mobley, knicks traded for og, pacers traded for siakam, morey needs make a trade for a difference maker and not a bench player, not tyus jones, not bogdanovic
Oh shut the fuck up Wilbon
Womp womp don’t care. Rest him. MVP doesn’t mean anything anyways
At this point 35% of me thinks Jo is just doing this to fuck with r/nba
I love him but Joel is never beating these allegations man
Everybody’s out, my night just got freed up then
embiid is not only missing six out of like 29 more games the rest of the season it’s over
Terquavion Smith is going to go the fuck off
Oubre out now too?
now we gotta listen to the broadcast slander joel for 2.5 hours lol
From not on the injury report to out 15 minutes before the game. A completely embarrassment and disaster from the Sixers. Wouldn’t be surprised if the team gets fined
We still have the chance to do the most funniest thing ever.
Regardless of if this is ducking or legit, it absolutely sucks. If his knee is bad enough that he can’t play when he wasn’t even on the injury report, that doesn’t exactly bode well for rest of season. If this is a lingering thing, it sucks and is worrisome.
If the knee is fake news and Sixers are ducking, it sucks too as it’s not fair to fans and they are being bitches.
In summary, this sucks.
First option Kelly Oubre game. Kelly Oubre with absolute green light is going to be something
As a long time embiid fan I have to admit this is coward behavior. Who cares if maxey is out. Play the game. I really doubt he doesn’t miss 6 more games this season.
Deep in my heart i knew this was gonna happen
i’m a sixers fan in denver who was trying to get off work to go to this game all week…can you imagine if i was successful 💀
I get that it may be the “smart” move to sit Embiid with so many guys out anyway. But I’m really sick of this shit. Let him play
Sixers deserve a fine for this one, he wasn’t even on the injury report.
