[Bontemps] Nick Nurse says Joel Embiid continues to work out on the court but that there remains no timetable for his return. Nurse goes on to say he believes there’s a “very good” chance Embiid plays before the end of the regular season.

Yeah. It’s time to tank guys. I rather have a shot at getting good prospect at 13 or possibly 12. Then get my ass kicked in round 1 at be stuck with pick 16 outside the Walter, Salaun, Castle range of prospects.
To me that says best case return is April 9th
i love this team but we can’t seriously believe Embiid will be the difference maker if we for example get matched up with boston… right?
My prediction is that 3 game homestead before the playoffs.
That’s in 2 weeks. That’s the make it or break it moment.
Just focus on next season at this point. He’s not coming back

With Joel injuries I lean on the side of pessimism.
I’d be happy to see him return for the playoffs but wouldn’t be surprised if we find out in April he won’t return due to a “setback” or such. It is what it is.
Med Staff: “We know you’re not 100% Jo but you are def good to go if u can’t feel your leg it just means the pain killers are working keep jumping tho its all good fam”
Doomers out in force in this thread. Joel will be back at some point. Maybe it’s not until the playoffs, but he’ll be back. This is not some devastating injury.
If he plays only one regular season minute.. I’d be thrilled
DJ Eastwood called it. The org and our slimy, venture capitalist owner dangled the carrot on a stick in front of the city for months saying Joel’s absence would only be ____ long and he’d totally be back just after the ASG. Gotta keep selling those seats! Scumbags.
