🚨GREAT Joel Embiid Injury UPDATE + 76ers News On Robert Covington Injury, Tobias Harris & Kai Jones
It’s a Monday mailbag coming at you on today’s Philadelphia 76ers now I’m Chase senior thank you so much for being here with us hope all of your weeks are off to a great start and if you’re still recovering from St Patrick’s Day weekend that’s completely understandable coming
Up we’re taking your questions ahead of tonight’s game Monday night against the Miami Heat but even if you’re watching this after Monday all of these topics still relevant for Philadelphia here got to beat the heat huge game for the Sixers in the Eastern Conference standings I need 1,000 F Miami down in
The comment section Jimmy Butler is own Philadelphia it makes me sick and in turn I hate the heat let’s start off with this one here the new DK Sports and gaming will Joel embiid be able to carry the 76ers through the playoffs after being injured we’re going to get to Joel
Embiid injury update coming up here in just a moment let’s first take a look at the NBA playoff picture here Philadelphia is not where you want to be in the playin tournament right now in the playoffs and obviously there’s some Runway from here until the playoffs and
The end of the regular season Boston Celtics running away with the number one seed they actually already clinched their playoff birth only team to do that in the Eastern Conference two seed nine and a half games back Milwaukee Bucks after that Cavaliers Knicks magic Pacers
The good news here not a lot of games separating the four seed all the way through the eigh seed Nicks have 40 wins Philadelphia has 37 and this is why this game is huge for Philadelphia on Monday night because they’re locked with the Miami Heat right
Now 37 and 30 just seven games over 500 you get Joel embiid back at the end of the regular season you get him back for just the playoffs the makeup of this team changes the psyche and confidence and Swagger of this Basketball Club flips on its head because you’re getting
Back Joel embiid who might not give you 35 and 11 but one of the most dominant forces in the entire NBA and he makes everything else fall in line for the Sixers roster at as for the latest Joel embi injury update he participated in non-con drills did return to practice he
Is still targeting a late season return that’s really all that you can ask for right now on the mbid front considering the injury considering how severe the process is to come back from an injury like that and just that glimmer of hope chip that he’s going to be able to make
It back before the end of the season which again could just alter things so much for the Sixers it’s that glimmer of hope what you were saying and I really believe that if this team has a fully healthy embiid and the whole team is fully healthy because there’s a lot of
Other injuries mton yeah but if this team’s fully healthy they can compete with pretty much anybody else in the East the Celtics are obviously a TCH but in terms of making a Conference Finals run if EMB s they can do it can he carry them is he going to be conditioned and
Is’s he going to be fully healthy those are the two things I’m going to look for if he is I don’t see why this team can’t win a couple playoff series yeah two things from producer chip right there and one thing that I want to hone in on
Before we ask to hear from you down in the comments section Joel un beats conditioning what type of shape is he going to be in because when he’s been healthy even when you get to this point of the playoffs when there’s a lot of travel not as many days in between games
Not as much of a break and the intensity of playoff games gets ratcheted up he’s worn down so now how’s he going to look after having not played for a really long time and if he does get back at some point before the end of the
Season in what shape will he be so can Joel embiid carry this team to the Conference Finals that’s going to be a tall task especially if the Celtics await in the second round if you can somehow get Milwaukee in that second round and don’t play in that playing
Tournament I think the Sixers could make a little bit of a run but obviously it’s going to be tough and they have to get over the mental hurdles not just the physical total give me a y for yes or an N for no for that question there Dark
Knights five what is up with Robert Covington so Robert Covington actually also participated in non- cont drills he has missed 35 straight games because of a knee injury and I’m not even sure how much he’d be a part of the playoff rotation he is a wing Defender who could
Guard a little bit of Damen Lillard Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown at least make their job a little bit more difficult for just a couple of moments I mean shoot we saw Daniel house getting some playoff run last year during that second round Series against Boston could roko
Kind of fill in that Gap maybe a little bit and he’s not a bad three-point shooter but with what Nick Nur said it’s a good step forward hopefully it’ll keep going forward the issue with that is when it seemed as though Robert Robert Covington was going to be able to come
Back he had some type of setback which is why he’s missed those 35 straight games going into Monday our sponsor for today’s 76ers now is Factor meals eating better is easy with factors delicious ready to eat meals every fresh never frozen meal is chef-crafted dietitian approved and ready in Just 2

Section as well as in the description of this video let continue to move forward and take your questions here Tyler any update on Kai Jones so he played in two games with the Delaware Blue coats at the g-league level he actually played pretty well in that first one
Unfortunately in that second game he pulled a hamstring but he signed that 10-day contract on Friday played for the blue coats on a backtack Friday and Saturday he will spend the entire 10day contract in the g-league and then the Sixers are going to re-evaluate him from
There and he did an interview with Shams chania and he said I had a couple of great grandparents pass away not far from one another I went through a lot of things he looks completely different than he does in the profile picture here shaved head completely bald so maybe a
New hair do or lack of hair means a new Kai Jones his first game Sixers put him to the test they played him 30 minutes out of the gate he had 14 points eight rebounds five assists how about this though five steals the length getting in
The passing Lanes could this be a backup center for Joel MB to at some point if he has that head on straight and the basketball side of it develops unfortunately though suffer that hamstring injury on Saturday he’s waiting for an update maybe the Sixers can give him another 10day
If the injury is a part of it because I’d like to see what he’s able to do for this team and who would you rather be playing Mo babo is basically a zero and Kai Jones who’s been a zero because he hasn’t been playing MB for Moomba KJ for Jones Robertson
355 Lakers profile picture do you think the Sixers will make it to the Conference Finals when the playoffs come I know that chip stated his optimism I am 32 years old the only time I’ve seen the Sixers make it past the second round to the Conference Finals 2001 I was 9
Years old alen Iverson won the MVP I got alen Iverson shoes and jerseys every single year I was obsessed alen Iverson is one of my My overall Philly sports goats he actually sent me a pair of autographed alen Ivers and game warn kicks for my eth birthday because my mom
Is friends with Larry Brown back in the day I love this basketball team I am not optimistic that they’re going to reverse this curse especially with all of the injuries not just to Joel NB but I threw his name out there a little bit earlier the Anthony Melton has these problematic
Back injuries so if the Sixers stay in the playin there’s a couple of potential pass that we can go through you beat Miami in the playin round Jimmy Butler against the Sixers and Eric spola not good you beat Milwaukee in round one and then you beat Cleveland in round two
That’s tough scenario number two you lose to Miami in the playin you beat Chicago Atlanta in the other playin after that and you beat Boston in round one and then you beat the Knicks in round two scenario one is what you want and what would be required there is
Beating the Mii Miami Heat in the playin game that’s why you just got to get out of the playing tournament the 36 matchup you take on the Cavs first round somehow you take on the Pacers first round if that’s like a 4 five or a 36 that’d be great playing tournament that spells
Disaster everything depends on a beads Health that’s really what it comes down to and look we’ve been spoiled in a certain way right I mean this Sixers have had a lot of playoff success Joel embiid Ben Simmons they were winning first round series and in the bubble it
Was bad but since then they’ve won first round series it all comes down to getting over that hump and it’s all going to come down to the health of the superstar in Joel MB Ryan what did you think Tobias Harris’s next contract will look like man I think he’ll get 25 million
And you might say Chase you’re crazy that’s the going rate for a player on a bad team who’s going to give you 20 25 points per game and he’s going to shoot somewhere around 48 to 50% from the floor and let’s say 38 to 40% from three
Now his numbers this year not good but he’s averaging 17 on a really good team he goes to a bad team a bad team like the Pistons they’ll pay him if he’s chucking a little bit more and he’s given them 20 25 points and those shooting splits I’m telling you they
Will Tobias harrris has also been an extremely durable player and Chip you and I we share our frustrations with Tobias SAS yeah a little bit injured right now with the ankle injury hope he gets better soon but look I wouldn’t be surprised as as Chase said I think that
$25 million number is perfect I think it comes down to what his priorities are going to be in free agency there’s going to be a bad team like the Detroit Pistons you know teams in the west the Spurs there’s going to be a bad team that’s going to offer off him 30 plus
Mil I think yeah it’s it’s possible and there’s there be better teams that could offer him 20 to 25 I don’t think he comes back to the Sixers I think they’re ready to move on but there’s a realistic chance where look if he just wants to
Cash in get his money and just play score 25 maybe he can get 25 points a game if he’s on a bad team depends where his priorities lie I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a bigger deal this off season I can’t wait for Tobias Harris to not be a Philadelphia 76er if
They bring him back will Riot I’m saying about 25 mil on a bad team he could get 30 mil chip throwing out that number that is completely realistic because it’s also about $10 million cheaper than what he’s making right now will he make over or under 25 mil that’s why I threw
Out that number to see if we go over that or under why don’t you make a bet down in the comments section for free it’s legal I promise and as you venture down there make sure you subscribe to the show for year round Sixers coverage we’ve been crushing it here on the show

Glad Covington is back,,,,need the defense,,,,,, We need to insert Kai Jones,,,,,if he can rebound,,,move his feet,,,,,,,and no Mo Bama. Delayed entry reflexes,,,,, looking like a corpse with rigor mortis,,,,,,, if he's a live body put him in the game

Yes amen 💯
F Miami
Boston in 4.
Embrittle is only concerned about Team USA. He switched countries just to medal chase. If France was a great team he would have played there. This Weak move will result in another injury this summer
We are NOT beating Boston or Bucks …. this year is over
We should tank to get higher draft pick 😂
Good video today, really shows what trouble we are in if we cant get to 6rh seed and avoid playin.
Come on Sixers I’m hanging on with y’all, no matter the outcome.. been a Sixers since early 80’s.. Spectrum was the slaughter house for any team to step in.. Let’s remind them it’s the same here and away.. Dedicated Sixers Fan.. Hello Andrew Toney.. Leonard

Julius Erving they need your brains in that front office.. I watch you play when I was a teenager.. I seen how you sky walked over Michael Cooper for a rock the baby to sleep slam.. you are needed there for scouting and advice.. always had your back in the 80’s.. Dedicated Sixer Fan..
