[Slater] Joel Embiid walking gingerly to the locker room during the timeout with a wrap on his knee. He played 10 minutes and went 1-of-7 shooting in the first quarter.

Ok so man clearly wasnt actually ready to play so who the hell let him go out there to play.

Embiid played bad on the road, warriors might be a contender after all

This has a chance to be one of the shortest-lived rules ever lmao

So does this count as a game played? Did he really just go out there legitimately injured just because he has so few misses left?
Freidehr
IIRC you need to play at least 20 minutes in a game for it to count for NBA awards, right?
WhatTheRickIsDoin
This sub will tell you he’s faking it to keep covering for the Nuggets game
Diabolical, this guy
ImGonnaChubbBradley
This game won’t even count

Ducking the last 3 quarters
LeAnthonyJavis
Yeah, he’s not going to play up to 65 games
Solid-Confidence-966
But he was obviously ducking and isn’t actually injured/s
jupiter__jaz
He saw his efficiency dip & bounced. He don’t want this smoke.

Denver Nugcels absolutely howlin n celebratin rn

How many minutes is needed just to clock in a game, in order to not be disqualified in MVP? He’s got 6 games left I think. But since he clock this in, it still remains so.
Kmactothemac
Sucks to be probably losing the MVP but I will easily trade that if he can be healthy for the first postseason of his fucking career
HisExcellency20
He looked like a corpse out there. He probably saw the rest of the team get destroyed by the *Portland Trailblazers* last night and decided he needed to play to give us a chance. I respect it but he should just sit the rest of this one out.
WhoopingKing
so he isn’t afraid of those altitude merchants?
jorgelongo2
embiid playing -> chasing MVP
Embiid not playing -> ducking
see, I always win
Moist_Walrus5413
Damn maybe he was hurt after all. R/nba all owe him a big apology.

makes what happend in denver even more ridiculous

So does this count as a missed game for award purposes?
Otherwise_Form1315
Hey, maybe this “everyone who gets hurt is ducking and/or lazy” mentality the media and fans have is actually unhealthy for the sport? Maybe, trying to guilt and incentivize players into playing when they’re not ready/healthy to is kinda bad? maybe this is a sorta no win, entitled mentality that ESPN has turned into a league threatening issue because they need a scapegoat for ratings being down and we’ve all kinda gone along with it? Maybe?
CofTheEast
But r/nba told me he was faking an injury?
SEAinLA
Cyberbullied into aggravating an injury.
moistkebab32
Won’t count to the 65 games either! Only 20+ minute games count.
Barnicus57
There he goes ducking Jokic again. Has Windhorst went on another rant about this yet?
Adventurous_Bird2730
this sub went full regard

God this sub is so damn stupid

No wonder 98.5% of this sub barely makes over minimum wage

EMBIID just needs to sit down lol. He clownin
MAMBAMENTALITY8-24
Ah so he was actually injured. A lot of people here were convinced he was ducking joker
Stebsy1234
This sub really is insufferable.

Ok you know what, I’ll admit I was wrong about Embiid ducking Jokic. That man is actually injured. Hope he recovers quickly.
WIEye
He should sit out the playoffs and rest his knee for next Season
Michipotz
Man, I hope this doesn’t lead to a more serious injury. Totally unnecessary

*Embiid pulls out if Nuggest game* Reddit: He’s a coward and a fraud.
*Embiid joins game and is visibly hurt* Reddit: Wtf why is he playing?!
Izanagi___
r/nba said he would be magically healed vs the blazers lmaoo
This is why I didn’t jump to conclusions, it’s maddening from a fan perspective to see him be announced injured so late vs Denver but y’all were writing dissertations on that man just for him to actually be injured lol
Iwubwatermelon
This guy always hurting
ThatGuyWithAwesomHat
It’s almost as if a big man with frail knees and a substantial injury history gets re-injured often.
