NEW Joel Embiid Injury Update Per Ramona Shelburne + 76ers Rumors On Buddy Hield, Cameron Payne
We have a new Joel embiid injury update to get to you’re watching Philadelphia 76ers now I’m Chase senior thanks so much for hanging out here with us ESPN’s Ramona shelburn reporting that Joel embiid is quote not anywhere close to returning I have an issue with that report I’ll explain why coming up here
In just a second but first make sure you subscribe to the channel this is a free way for you to get free Sixers news coverage content rumors Buzz live shows all that and a whole lot more stay updated on all things Sixers all the time with us right here on 76ers Now by
Chat sports here is Ramona Shel bur’s report on jmb well Joel mbid is not anywhere close right now to coming back but he is able to get on the court do some light work the hope that they have in Philly is that they can just stay in
The mix for Joelle MB to come back for the last week or so of the off season or of the Season excuse me and at least where he has a chance to get back some conditioning right before the NBA Playoffs so the Joel embiid initial injury timeline and we’re always
Skeptical about that because this is a guy who’s a seven-footer long history of knee issues when we talked to Dr David sha he talked about how this same knee and the meniscus was already operated on which added some complexities to the surgery for Joel embiid the initial
Timeline 6 to 8 weeks so the date of the surgery was the first week of February February 6th to be exact six weeks out is March 19th and that’s six days away so almost a week away 8 weeks out is April 2nd the 76ers last game of the
Regular season is going to be April 14th the NBA playing tournament April 16th to the 19th if the Sixers don’t get their act together they might have to play that and then the NBA Playoffs begin in April 20th that April 20th timeline is Big here because you think about a
Potential return date could it be April 7th we’re sitting here on March 13th right now if the NBA Playoffs don’t begin until April 20th a date that a lot of you are looking forward to for reasons outside of just basketball that is a month and a week away from now that
Gives Joel embiid a little bit more of a Runway to come back if the Sixers don’t have to play in the NBA playing tournament the issue here is where Philadelphia might land in the Eastern Conference standings with the way that they’ve been playing Tobias Harris being awful Tyrese Maxi missing some time
Before coming back last night and that blow out loss against the New York Knicks but also the opponents on the schedule for Philadelphia here Spurs the 7eventh and this is obviously looking ahead for when MB might be able to come back right Spurs but the schedule over the next like couple of
Weeks it’s a really difficult one as we’ve documented here on the show so let’s say embiid is able to come back at some point around here he’s able to play against some opponents where they’re not that good and you can ease him into the action to get that conditioning level
Back up test that knee out a little bit to see where he is April 7th against the Spurs on the road April 9th against the Pistons April 12th against the upstart magic and then April 14th against the Brooklyn Nets and for embiid it all comes down to him just being healthy I
Don’t think that he can risk further injury here nor do I think he should when the six have the most cap space in the NBA going into this off season I get it you look at these numbers here 35 points per game 11 rebounds six assists
It was great to see him adding passing to his Arsenal here 53.3% on his field goals 37% from three-point range if he kept playing he was going to be the MVP and you want those types of numbers this type of player that type of production
In your lineup and it’s hard to get away from the fact man we we could really not have Joel M beat in the playoffs it would suck in the moment but imagine him reinjuring that knee it being so serious and then you have the most cap space in
The NBA and you can’t land Big Ticket free agents because you’re not sure and the free agents aren’t sure if emid is even going to be able to play for the next season Philly just needs to stay in the mix in the East I don’t like a first
Round match up against the Celtics of course a first round matchup against the Bucks isn’t necessarily ideal but they can be had I like how the Sixers match up against the Cleveland Cavaliers Joel embiid has always dominated the New York Knicks I don’t worry about the Orlando
Magic at all that young team would crater in the pressure of the Wells Fargo Center Indianapolis Colts or uh Indianapolis Indiana Pacers my God it’s NFL free agency and I’m in my NFL bag right now Indiana Pacers are feisty Tyrese halberton and Rick Carlile just a great player really good coach who’s won
An NBA championship that team with their Pace can cause some problems especially with the conditioning concerns with you well NB but you should be able to beat them but right now you’re in this danger zone here where you might have to be in that NBA playing tournament and you
Might have to play a Miami Heat team I’m not worried about the Bulls or the Hawks in the playing tournament I am worried about the Miami Heat though the 76ers it’s been ugly it’s been rough and it’s unfortunate because remember the doesn’t feel like that long ago and we
Were talking about how fun this Sixers team was to watch with embiid with Tyrese Maxi blowing up and Shooters around him but without him it has been Dreadful basketball to watch especially when they failed to Eclipse 80 points in back-to-back games against the necks 76ers 10 and 21 without Joel embiid
Tough going tough sledding Willam be return before the playoffs why for yes and for no I’m going to continue be glass saful and optimistic but starting to get a little bit hairy coming up next let’s talk about how the deadline editions have performed buddy heeled basically bench from the starting lineup

And you enjoy them you save time you save money that’s a pretty dang good one two three punch how have heeled and campaign performed right away buddy heeled he was cooking the flamethrower it was on point from distance and you look at his overall numbers with the Sixers in 15
Games played since the deadline 14 1 12 points per game 42 1.2% from the floor classic Mory ball player where he shoots almost all of his shots from deep but we’ve talked about this on the show his creating skills are a lot better than what he’s been given credit for still
Doesn’t play all that much defense and while he got off to a really hot start though the numbers have started to go downhill just a little bit for buddy and then Nick nurse took him out of the lineup and he was a reserve instead of being in that starting five with heeld I
Think the Sixers made this trade in hopes that Joel embiid would be back before the end of the regular season and he’s a great player to put alongside Joel MB because MBI draws the double teams he’s been better at passing out of those double teams that’s something that
He really struggled with early in his career the game is just moving fast in that regard now it’s started to slow down a little bit and and when embiid is getting double teamed and then you also have Tyrese Maxi who can create off the dribble off those double teams and then
You have buddy heeld who’s left vacant he’s going to be able to get a lot of looks if or when he plays with Joel embiid obviously the question with heeld and the question with embiid coming back and DeAnthony Melton what’s that starting five going to be and will heeld start in the
Playoffs or is he that option to come off the pine and knock down some triples here’s what buddy heeld had to say about coming off the bench Nick told me and it’s not starting all the time once I go there and get quality minutes and help
This team win that’s all that matters I came in play by role I know what I’m here to do and I did it that was on Sunday and it was fun so it’s not about starting or coming off the bench I think everybody has done that since I came
Here so whatever he wants we go with and we trust whatever decision he makes good mentality good quotes there from buddy now what do the Sixers do do they start Kelly UB because not long ago we were saying it’s probably best for him to come in Off the Bench cuz he’s probably
Better suited to come in Off the Bench but he’s been playing really really good basketball over the last couple of games toward the end of that game on Sunday at Madison Square Garden I mean the Sixers gave him the keys and he was creating for himself and others he had that
Really good kick out on the three to Paul Reed and then he drove after a little shake and bake dumped it down to bball Paul down low for the that layup off the glass reverse style so that’s an option we know that DeAnthony Melton is an option the back injuries obviously
Have been a problem for him this year causing him to miss a lot of time and he was the starter when the Sixers were at full strength and those was a pretty solid Squad so pick a starter here heeld UB Melton who would you rather see start for Philadelphia here especially when
Joel embiid comes back as for campaign shooting numbers not good 39.3% from the floor 31% from three-point range but 10 and a half points per game three plus assists I’m not sure if Cam pay is going to play over Kyle Lowry who because of his experience at the NBA level how
Smart he is as a player that clutch three against the Knicks from way downtown silenced the crowd at Madison Square Garen down the stretch in the waning moments of that basketball game he just has this ability to lead to playmake to calm everything down when things are starting to get a little bit
Wonky and that’s when that three came when the Sixers missed some shots didn’t execute and then the Knicks start to close that Gap a little bit what does Lowry do left wing wing triple sh we’ll see on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Center his numbers with the Sixers here almost
Eight points per 5 and a half assist 41% from the field and 37.1% from three these are quality numbers for a backup point guard here after Tyrese Maxi and him and Maxi can play with one another the big thing here much more efficient than a player like campaign pick a point
Guard I don’t think it’s close here Hometown kid Kyle Lowry also playing well much more efficient I’m typing my KL down in the comment section here don’t forget to subscribe it’s a very busy week for us here at chat sports for NFL free agency because producer chip
And I Do cover the National Football League as well so maybe not as much content as a normal week but we’ll be back in the saddle once everything dies down on the football Front

If I’m being honest this gon be tough to hear for us sixers fans but there’s no playoff for us this year. I’ve had faith all season but as of right now these guys don’t wanna win their poor game play speaks loud.
The Process continues part76
Embiid, Reed, Kelly, Hield and Maxey needs to be the starting 5. Lowey can lead the second unit. Lowry, Mo, Batum, Payne, Ricky and rotate around these guys with adding Smith and maybe 1 more. Harris service should not be needed if Philly enter the playoffs.
philly love

Ok the 420 reference gets you a sub. Weed is helping stomach this shell of a team right now.🙌
LET'S KEEP IT REAL, IT MAYBE TIME FOR US TO THINK ABOUT THE LONG-HAUL. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO EMBIND…LET'S THINK ABOUT HIM AND THIS ORGANIZATION AND SHUT HIM DOWN FOR THE SEASON. NEXT SEASON WE GO ALL OUT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP !!!!!!
