MAJOR 76ers Rumors: Joel Embiid Injury Latest + Embiid PRESSURED By The NBA To Play vs. Warriors?

This is Philadelphia 76ers now and coming up a Joel embiid injury update after he got hurt against the Golden State Warriors and as part of that a major problem is arising in the NBA with some load management money being taken away and really Joel embiid kind of

Forced to play last night against the Golden State Warriors as part of those issues we’ll explain further coming up here in just a little while so let’s set the stage on Tuesday night in San Francisco Joelle embiid limped off the court after being down for several minutes after Jonathan kaminga fell on

His knee he is set to have an MRI as confirmed by head coach Nick nurse after the Sixers lost to the Golden State Warriors lot of thoughts on this and details coming up but type those two ones in the chat to send Joel embiid some love unfortunately

I don’t think he’s going to reach the Benchmark to be eligible for NBA MVP and that’s what we’re going to talk about here on today’s show because the rules that were signed on by the NBA Players Association are kind of a joke and now you’re looking at embid getting robbed

Of winning NBA MVP and a player like Ty Tyrese halberton who’s going to get cost millions of dollars because he’s probably not going to be named to an all NBA team as for the latest let’s pivot back to Joel embiid re-aggravated his left knee injury against Indiana he

Stayed in the game he was clearly bothered he was not on the initial injury report against the Denver Nuggets and then he was ruled out 15 minutes before the game against Denver the medical staff saying Joel embiid could not jump in warm-ups and embiid has had

A special season up to this point but according to reports he’s feeling all of this pressure from the national media and from these new rules to have to play so that he can be eligible to win NBA MVP and because of that he may have further injured his knee and this is

Becoming a growing problem in the NBA so he plays Tuesday against the Warriors and he was clearly favoring his knee from the start limping around not feeling healthy he’s missed the last few games he didn’t look to be 100% or in sync in Rhythm he goes into the locker

Multiple times before the knee injury so why was he playing there’s also a threshold of minutes that a player needs to play in those games on top of the totality of games they need to play to be eligible for something like NBA MVP here’s what Nick nurse had to say

Because obviously the head coach is going to get pressed about it when an MVP candidate is in the game clearly not right and he’s still playing he said so obviously medical cleared him Joe obviously is a big part of that he said he was feeling good he said he’s a

Little rusty hadn’t been on the court for 5 days but he said he felt good he obviously got landed on so they’re going to do an MRI it’s kind of unrelated to what’s been bothering him so we’ll just wait on that you guys saw that play he

Kind of got landed on here’s the thing Joel NBI should not have been playing in this game like you I agree that it’s very frustrating that embiid is always injured and over the last couple of years playing great basketball either winning MVP or in the running for MVP

Then what happens when it comes time for the NBA Playoffs he gets hurt his injury luck is bad he’s been a little bit brittle but you got to hold out hope that he’s going to be right for the playoffs you want to have the opportunity for him to at least be on

The floor so if he misses some of these regular season games that’s fine because then then has some gas left in the tank and health can be on his side in the playoffs but if he continues to get hurt the regular season or further some of these injuries right that he’s just not

Going to be right for the playoffs he’s going to be cooked and then the Sixers have no shot because as we’ve seen this year when he’s been out of the lineup this is a pretty mediocre to bad team because he’s such a great player and be looked tentative he looked indecisive he

Looked unsure of himself 17 of his 18 shot attempts were jump shots so clearly he’s not feeling right to get push off on that knee to try to back you down and create some physicality and some space to be able to maneuver in the trenches

Which is a strong suit of his game now why would embid push himself through this injury it could be exposing a new problem within the NBA and these new rules what are they I’ve teased them so far for their details coming up here in just a moment but first today 76ers now

Warriors and beid who missed Philadelphia’s game at Portland on Monday night looked like a player who pushed himself to play against Golden State because the whole basketball world was screaming in his ear there are people within the Sixers who were convinced that he only played because of all this scrutiny and the narrative

Around embid in the NBA world it’s kind of a joke I get it he’s come up short in the playoffs a couple of times but he’s a special player he’s one of one the Finesse of aim alijan the physicality of Shaquille O’neal He has an offensive

Arsenal as far as how he can get Buckets like a Kobe Bryant Fade Away pull up three-pointers putting the ball on the deck rip through move like James Harden he has all of these special skills that we really haven’t seen from a big throughout the entire course of NBA

History I mean you think back to what he did in December his last full healthy month multiple incredible performances and averages that were pushing at points in that month almost 40 points per game nobody gets more hate for being injury riddled than Joelle MB but you also have

To factor in he overcame three consecutive years to start his career in which he didn’t play because of injuries then he plays he gets H again from that point he’s actually been somewhat relatively healthy don’t you like watching spe special don’t you watch something one of one you say that to

Yourself and you’re like wow this is certainly a luxury that’s what we have every single night for Joel MB the guy is also 7 foot 280 lbs and it’s hard to stay healthy when you’re that large and you’re that agile there might be more to the story though and that’s what we want

To get to here prior to this season the n ba adopted a new player participation policy I get it players sitting out like kawh Leonard it was getting out of hand with the whole load management era and I do think that NBA players are a little bit entitled they’re a little bit soft

As compared to back in the day these athletes are the best that we’ve ever seen the level of talent in the NBA is probably as deep as we’ve ever seen but I’m not going to lie to you like when I turn on NBA on TNT NBA on ESPN it

Becomes a bummer it becomes tough to watch when these players are healthy and they’re sitting out and it’s not just sitting out one game they’re sitting out routinely the regular season is 82 games you have some of these star players who are playing 55 60 I get you want to be

Right for the playoffs but for the NBA you want better ratings you want players to play a little bit more the solution is not a dumbass policy like this the policy that I think would work best and what would incre increase Revenue increase TV ratings increase player participation and interest in the

League you knock down the regular season to 60 games the product becomes so much better and then the games mean more and right now you’re watching Joel embiid sitting out you’re watching Tyrese halberton sitting out then they try to play they get further injured and these All Pro Caliber players aren’t able to

Play then because of those injuries and then before that you have Kawhi lonard just sitting out as well and you’re like I want to see Stars okay like I don’t want to see these scrubs taking the floor in a game in the regular season that doesn’t really mean anything and

That’s the bummer right now with where the NBA is and it’s pretty telling that last week South Carolina and LSU women’s basketball got higher ratings on The Telecast than pretty much any NBA game this year that’s a joke and that’s because fans aren’t really invested in a

League in which they don’t know what they’re getting night in night out and they know these regular season games don’t really matter why is that because the players don’t care about them so the NBA player participation trophy um era is a problem and this policy is a joke

The new CBA which went into effect in July mandates that players must appear in a minimum of 65 games and play a minimum of 20 minutes in those games to remain eligible for any of the aforementioned regular season accolades so embiid is trying to get to that 65

Game threshold why is he in the game because he feels though he needs to play 20 minutes to be in the running for NBA MVP so this means that players can only miss 17 games and you look at the notable players who have missed the amount of games that they’ve missed

Jimmy Butler’s at 15 Tyreek Salton is at 13 Joel MB now is at 12 he feels that pressure Devin Booker is at nine and Donovan Mitchell is at nine but then when ratings do matter the most in the NBA is in the NBA playoffs and now we

Might not see some of these players because of further injury or they’re not playing up to their standard it’s not just about Awards though there are Financial incentives at stake here which are dramatic Tyrese alurn and this is not a misprint can get a $54 million

Raise if he makes an all-nba team this season however if he misses just five more games and why would he risk further injury given the impact and his meaning to Indiana he’ll be ineligible to make an all NBA team so it’s written in his contract that he can get all that money

If he’s an all-nba player and here’s what Tyrese Alberton had to say I think it’s a stupid rule like plenty of the guys in the league but this is what the owners want so as players we got to do our job in playing 65 games if we’re

Able to so that’s what I got to do take care of my body to be able to play in those games and I think you’re seeing other players in the league kind of face the same thing as long as the owners are H happy look the NBA world has been

Sounding off for a little while and this is the problem in Corporate America this is the problem in sports these owners are making billions and billions and billions of dollars even if nobody goes to their games the bank account is still pretty and they’re still profiting because the profit margins are crazy

And they’re still billionaires yet it comes down to Greed in Corporate America in politics and in sports it’s all about greed all the time when it comes to the cash flow and believe me I care about my cash flow you know as I’ve climbed the ranks in

Broadcasting I used to live paycheck to paycheck now I’m a little bit more comfortable I can enjoy things in life so I get it from that standpoint but the set a limit for the amount of games that players have to play and then then they might risk further injury the owners are

Worried about trying to make money and having those players play but if the Sixers go out in the playoffs because embiid is injured they’re not going to make the amount of money that they could have if embiid was 100% healthy you see what I’m saying here here’s what

Draymond Green had to say and I certainly see eye to eye with him Joel embiid playing tonight felt very solely because of the 65 game limit which I think is quite now we got one of the Premier faces of this league Poss hurt because he’s forcing it and then

Jamal Crawford said this we all want these guys to play but if we’re risking further injury or compensation or anything for that we’ll have to look at that they shouldn’t have to risk themselves in their livelihood to say I need to meet a quota to be eligible for

This stuff and then there’s Vince Carter here’s the problem halberton played but is he playing because of that for that money is he risking injury I think the NBA in a tough position you’re going to need tweaks you’re getting situations like a halberton and beid clearly

Playing at an MVP level but he’s clearly injured right now now I understand the NBA Players Association approved it and it’s kind of the issue with the NBA over the last like I don’t know five to eight years the players have shot themselves in the foot as far as the league goes

But the alternative was a lockout nobody wants that because then nobody gets money at all so my take here this has clearly become a problem with the players something that needs to be done by Adam Silver this offseason who this week on Sunday excuse me just signed a contract

Extension for the rest of the decade now is the NBA at fault for embiid’s injur I’m going to say yes because he feels the pressure to play give me a why for yes and for no let me know what you’re thinking Down Below in the comment section we appreciate you for watching
