There goes his mvp
He should not be playing wtf
Don’t need him. We’re too mid.
Ok so man clearly wasnt actually ready to play so who the hell let him go out there to play.
Embiid played bad on the road, warriors might be a contender after all
IIRC you need to play at least 20 minutes in a game for it to count for NBA awards, right?
This sub will tell you he’s faking it to keep covering for the Nuggets game
Diabolical, this guy
Ducking the last 3 quarters
Yeah, he’s not going to play up to 65 games
But he was obviously ducking and isn’t actually injured/s
Bros gotta get to 20 min
How many minutes is needed just to clock in a game, in order to not be disqualified in MVP? He’s got 6 games left I think. But since he clock this in, it still remains so.
Sucks to be probably losing the MVP but I will easily trade that if he can be healthy for the first postseason of his fucking career
He looked like a corpse out there. He probably saw the rest of the team get destroyed by the *Portland Trailblazers* last night and decided he needed to play to give us a chance. I respect it but he should just sit the rest of this one out.
embiid playing -> chasing MVP
Embiid not playing -> ducking
see, I always win
makes what happend in denver even more ridiculous
Here we go again…
Hey, maybe this “everyone who gets hurt is ducking and/or lazy” mentality the media and fans have is actually unhealthy for the sport? Maybe, trying to guilt and incentivize players into playing when they’re not ready/healthy to is kinda bad? maybe this is a sorta no win, entitled mentality that ESPN has turned into a league threatening issue because they need a scapegoat for ratings being down and we’ve all kinda gone along with it? Maybe?
But r/nba told me he was faking an injury?
Cyberbullied into aggravating an injury.
this sub went full regard
No wonder 98.5% of this sub barely makes over minimum wage
This sub really is insufferable.
He should come out after halftime or once he gets 20 minutes, he’s done. He looks hurt
Ok you know what, I’ll admit I was wrong about Embiid ducking Jokic. That man is actually injured. Hope he recovers quickly.
*Embiid pulls out if Nuggest game* Reddit: He’s a coward and a fraud.
*Embiid joins game and is visibly hurt* Reddit: Wtf why is he playing?!
The narrative on Joel Embiid by everyone is fucking hilarious the dude stat chases a lot (which I feel most players do) and now we all get to see the NBA community change its opinion on him like it has bipolar disorder
LMAO Leo DiCaprio on a mf
It’s almost as if a big man with frail knees and a substantial injury history gets re-injured often.
Embiid back in in the 4th. Lol why
Y’all suck.
I was at the game tonight and told my dad I expect him to play limited minutes vs us, well I was technically correct
