Dont rush it Joel. How about the next game
April fools!
I am advocating for Joel’s well-being.
SEXO
I miss the toxicity that Embiid can bring to this sub. I love chaos. Welcome back!
*Reads it* Remembers it’s April fools day
*Goes back to sleep*
So scared for his knees. Hope nothing bad happens. Healthy Joel is good for the league. Dude is a hell of a player
Nice. The league is just better with more superstars around
Celtic shaving to play a healthy embiid in the first round is objectively fucking hilarious
r/nba users cheering loudly for the return of their free upvotes
Hmm this could get interesting hope he ain’t rushing himself tho
It’d be beautiful to see an upset in the East and for Joel to finally reach the finals
This is good for the league
For those not following as closely as us, this is not rushing him back. It’s on the tail end of the timeline for the injury + surgery.
And for my local “just sit him” people, he doesn’t get the surgery if he wanted to sit. That decision was made 8+ weeks ago.
I want you to put the word out there, that we back up.
posting this on april fools is a choice
We really missing one of Embiid vs Luka scoring duel💔
This man is gonna average 40 points and 25 rebounds a game in a series against Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
I for one can’t wait to see Joel come back and lead Philly to a win.
Great news. Beating the Sixers doesn’t feel the same when he’s not there
Ayo. Is this the year we see a healthy playoff embiid 👀
he’s done miracles on me
The 2 seed in the east gets either the Heat or the Sixers with Embiid.
Happy to see him back
Like him or not, he’s a fun player to watch when healthy
Please tell me he didn’t get his torn meniscus removed….
Of course he is back for our game 😭😭
Praise be, for our ethical bucket-getter, our toxic avenger, our mid-range messiah, is risen.
Oh shit
Missed him dearly. He’s literally Kobe in a 7 foot body and I hope we finally get to see him healthy in the playoffs.
Yay. I’m happy about this and will spice up the east
In the midst of a dark “it’s so over” I found within me an indomitable “we’re so back”
Embiid coming back and beating the Celtics in the first round. 👀
Would love for him to be as close to 100% as possible for the playoffs
i hope for bro’s sake bionic knee replacements arent too far off in the future
Come back and beat the Thunder tomorrow. Then will see how this plays out 🍿
Yes please. OKC needs more experience playing against dominant bigs
You guys are so screwed now!
It’s wild, but acquiring Nurse and Lowry has apparently made me happy for good fortune for the 76ers. I sincerely hope they go far this year.
Yesss pls can I have another
Tickets for the OKC game were like ~$12 a few weeks ago, if he plays it would be such a steal!
r/nba 9/11
Embiid fully healthy and rested. Get his conditioning up the next few weeks and unleash him.
Hell yeah. If Embiid can get back to even 85-90% of his level pre-injury, 76ers can mix it up in the playin and the 1st round. Hope he gets in against OKC and they win that game.
smh NBA discourse has moved on to citing SGA as the ultimate foul baiter, generating far more publicity (all publicity is good publicity!) for a young, rising star, and now Embiid is just going to come back and steal the spotlight? Unbelievable the lengths this controversy merchant will go to.
Great news.
Lol I might find a way to be pro Sixers if they’ll be matching up with the Cs. Fuck them up in the 1st round lfg
Hopefully he stays healthy. One of the more enjoyable players to follow in the NBA. It’s so easy to root for passion and hard work.
are you sure? might wanna just let it rest for another game?
Good news for 76er fans. Hope they don’t rush it however.
