LATEST 76ers News & Rumors: Joel Embiid Injury Update, Signing Paul George, Jimmy Butler Reunion?

We’re ready to take some of your questions on today’s Philadelphia 76ers Now by chat sports I’m Chase senior a lot of good stuff coming in from all of our loyal subscribers who we like to call real ones here on the show speaking of real ones Sixers heat jockeying right

Now in the Eastern Conference standings both looking to stay out of the playin tournament they could play one another in the playin tournament we’re going up against the Miami Heat report inside the walls here of chat sports March subscriber battle who could pick up the most subscribers heat right now with the lead

439 to 412 for 76ers now let’s get the dub against Miami on the hardwood hopefully in the regular season coming up in the playoffs if they meet let’s get that Victory here at chat sports as well Maurice Dunmore and if you’re watching from Dunmore shout out to the 570

What’s the update on Joelle embiid there’s not much of a new update that we can get to as far as embiid status goes but we did have this report from John Clark and more so just some Intel from him and then Bill Simmons talking about it as well as we know Bill Simmons

Celtics guy but tapped in to a lot of organizations across the NBA because he’s so well connected John Clark with this on the 21st this was 5 days ago Joel embi is cramping up his workouts he’s on the court almost every day according to Sixers head coach Nick

Nurse I’ve been told the hope is that Joelle could be back in two to three weeks so that was on March 21st we’re still looking at that early April type of timeline there Maurice and hopefully that Rings true this is somewhat of an optimistic report

I’m not going to call it that but Intel and insight from Bill Simmons he said everyone who I’ve talked to about this who knows anything was like yeah Joel embiid’s going to be fine it’s a 6 to8 we injury he’s practicing and he’ll be back and the timeline seems to match up

With what Simmons is hearing here the date of the surgery February 6th 6 weeks out is March 19th so obviously we’re already past that eight weeks out is April 2nd we’re probably not going to get there because that’s coming up here next week this is the final week of

March Sixers last game though April 14th I’d rather see the Sixers air on the side of caution no need to rush him back for April 2nd just to meet that timeline of course NBA plan 16th through the 19th hopefully embiid is in full go there and then the NBA Playoffs starting on April

20th how far can the Sixers go in the NBA Playoffs if Joel embiid returns I’m just curious to see what type of conditioning and what type of shape he’ll be in that determines a lot for me hopefully it’s past second round for the first time since 2001 KZ why do you

Think Paul George would be a good fit for the Sixers next year when he can’t even carry his big three past an em beatless 76ers well first of all it’s the NBA and anything can happen on any game campaign went off tyres Maxi played very well the Sixers were so

Desperate to get that victory and they got that Victory it’s one game in 82 do I think the Clippers would be able to beat the Sixers in the NBA finals or in a playoff series if they met for sure and I think Paul George would be a big

Part of that why I think he’s a good fit for Philadelphia they haven’t had a good Wing since Jimmy Butler and don’t tell me that Tobias Harris is that because he’s not even close to the player that PG is Paul George can score at all three levels he’s still a plus Defender he

Could play on or off ball that’s good for the continued growth of Tyrese Maxi I think he’s a perfect fit with maxi and he could be a compliment to and be it as well and last four years yeah he’s getting a little bit older which is a concern when you’re thinking about

Giving him that money but you’re looking to compete for a championship Joel embiid’s getting older as well so that means and that translates to the championship window is right now and going back to the health standpoint the concern with Paul George the health he’s been Healy this year and a contract year

It’s funny how often times that’s the case but before the season 56 31 54 and 48 games played ship how big of a concern is the health and the age at almost 34 yeah look I’ve seen everybody in the comments a lot of people are out

On Paul George because of the age being almost 34 because of the injury history but to me when you can get a player of the caliber of Paul George you know we’ve seen him healthy this year he can Elevate this team to new levels you know

The fit is perfect again like you said since Jimmy Butler left you haven’t had that wing and you need a guy who’s 69 almost 6′ 10 can knock down the three can go off the dribble can go off the catch can defend at a very very high level still even though he’s getting

Older I think that you throw those health concerns those injury concerns out of the window and you move forward with it because you can’t roll out another Squad next year of M be Maxi and then what are you going to bring back Tobias Harris are you going

To sign a demard rozan there’s not many options regardless this year in BR buddy he who is oer from three last night against the this is your best option you got to take the risk there you go producer chip on it do you want the Sixers to sign Paul George we want you

To be on it now s for sign P for pass share your thoughts with us down in the comments section like producer chip and I share our thoughts with you that’s the point of the show audience engagement because we know that you know ball Justin Fowler would you go out and

Reunite with Jimmy Butler if he decides to leave Miami and if we don’t get PG-13 I think the biggest mistake that this organization made was keeping Brett Brown Ben Simmons and reigning Tobias Harris and letting Jimmy Butler leave and the regular season numbers they’re still really good even though he hasn’t

Played that many games under 60 in three of the last four years going into the 2023 2024 campaign and this year he’s all about the body maintenance you know what I care about with Jimmy Butler I care about him just being a dog in the playoffs him putting the team on his

Back willing the team to Victory and just playing as though and Performing as such that he’s a top five player in the NBA because when the playoffs come around he’s one of the best players in the world his contract do you look at it here he’s under contract with a player

Option 2025 2026 but one more year 2024 2025 $ 48.7 million you’re probably going to have to pay something in this neighborhood to Paul George the issue with the Sixers here they have the most cat space in the NBA going into this summer Jimmy Butler this summer is not

Going to be available so you’re not just going to punt on next year as well because that’s another year in W in which you’re wasting a really good year from Tyrese Maxi and Joelle embiid whose injury history has been fickle continues to be a little bit concerning I’d reunite with Jimmy Butler unfortunately

I don’t think it matches the Sixers timeline what would you do why for yes and for no it’s unfortunate they let him go Tobias Harris over me I’ll never get over that this deal from Fanatics is awesome this chat sports Sixers zip up you can find it right now 25% off at chatsports.com

Sixers zip we’re not going to take you to some wild site this is all thanks to our friends at Fanatics here so use that link down below use it so that deal can apply for you this is what $75 it’s around like $50 right now tremendous deal limited time only though chatsports.com

6ixers zip say that 10 times fast Christopher Matthews why doesn’t Ricky Council get more minutes I think it just comes down to him being an inconsistent player him trying to earn a role on an NBA roster I think he has a future in this league for sure but the number

Shooting have just been so up and down Nick nurse has praised him he’s complimented his game I think Nick nurse thinks that maybe has a future in this league here’s what nurse had to say about him he’s done nothing but play hard he’s an opportunistic scorer and he

Drives when he’s got them and he gets the glass and he tries to guard really hard so that being said it’s just clear that nurse right now favors the Vets especially without Joel embiid you’re dealing with some difficult times right now your roster is thin you don’t have

As much depth so you’re relying on the veterans to try to get you by unfortunately though some of your vets right now aren’t doing much Nicholas patum buddy hee here’s more from nurs on rookie Council he’s been very good we did get an influx of guys back at

That position that are veteran players that you’re going to always probably ride those guys a little bit more pause from Nick nurse there but Ricky celil I think now is not his time but as a developmental piece on this roster I think he could earn a role in the future

If the Sixers decide to have him as a bench player and they’re going to need a player like this chip because with the most cap space in the NBA Maxi Max Steel that’s coming this upcoming summer I’m telling you right now and then another player you’re not going to have a lot of

Money for your bench pieces so a player like rookie council is going to be counted on he’s shown flashes in those little limited minutes should he play a bigger role over the veteran players yeah I love rookie Council and I as you said I do think he has a great future

Hopefully with the 76ers but when I look at this team man you know they’re preparing to hopefully make a playoff run right at this moment rookie Council he’s not even on a standard NBA contract so he wouldn’t even be allowed to play in the playoffs you know I think they’ve seen enough

From him in my opinion I think they’ve seen enough to want to resite him in the off season but they know he’s not really goingon to be contributing in the playoffs Nick nurse especially you know he has these vets who you still have Melton who’s out you still have

Covington who’s out by the way Covington was supposed to be back by now easily and we haven’t heard a thing about Covington but I just don’t see Ricky Council cracking the rotation over some of these for wordss Like O Batum even though he hasn’t been as good

Tobias Harris you know Paul Reed we saw uh DJ Wilson give some good minutes last night right like there’s just not really enough room for him unfortunately but I do think going forward he could he could be a decent rotational player for the Sixers yeah I’m with you and I

Understand kind of the the thought process and the approach from Nick nurse let’s go to inquisitive 44 we just need to make sure we have Kelly ub’s money right he’s earned a hefty contract a Philly kind of guy too he fits I like the player I like the fire that he plays

With I like the energy I kind of like the Swagger that he has now sometimes the Swagger can lead to him just taking some ill-advised shots and just chucking at times I think the history is out that he’s a very inconsistent up and down player but as a bench rotation type you

Could certainly do worse this year so far 15 points per game 44% from the field 30% from three when you watch him all year you’re like man I’m actually surprised that the field goal numbers are lower because he’s hit a couple of big buff buckets he’s had a couple of

Big games but again that just goes to show you when it’s good it’s good when it’s bad it’s pretty bad unfortunately for Philadelphia here I think UB is a player who is going to want to get paid because he wants to make up for some of

The money that he lost this year when he signed so late for a very low deal like he could get 12 to 15 million on the open market and keep in mind some of these bad teams across the NBA they will just give players a ridiculous amount of

Money because they have the money they’re awful and they need somebody to put the ball in the hoop Kelly UB has been able to do that it’s been good to see him fit on a winning team and have a big role on a winning team when he was

With the Warriors a couple of years ago it was kind of ugly and you could tell he was a little bit happy if you want to get on the show we’ve been doing more of these mailbags because you’ve all responded so well to them and they’re getting really good views so let’s
