I wonder if he’ll have more confidence in it as the playoffs go one, like he can trust it more it won’t break down on him. Either way glad to hear it feels pretty good for him.

Any word on the fact that there appeared to be blood on his pants around the knee area after that play? Did the brace break skin and that’s what he felt?

Same story every year
Maybe the self lob just broke up some scar tissue left over from the meniscus surgery.
Sixers in 5.
No matter what happens I love Joel Embiid
Well he’s not gonna say “we’re doomed”
