> Nick Nurse says Joel Embiid (right knee) remains day-to-day. “Just waiting for the doctors to clear him.” He was a full participant in today’s practice.
> Tyrese Maxey asked how his shoulder is doing: “Great.”
>Says it “felt a little weird” during the game but isn’t worried about it right now.
Nick Nurse says Purple_Dragon’s spirit is “worn” even though the team is above .500. “He’s trying, reminding himself not to get too excited about the product on the floor.”
So he will be re-evaluated in two weeks
Oh how I love Sixers basketball
lol okay.
Day to day in Sixers language means week to week.
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the Embiid years but they sadly look like they’re coming to an end .
He did manage to overtake AI as my favorite sixer.
He literally practiced a week ago. If his knee didn’t react well to that practice, just tell us
My expectations are so low the fact that he’s still actively practicing makes me ecstatic
Are we just trying to get through December at .500 or a few games over at which time, his sore right knee will be magically healed?
On one hand I think Embiid could probably use all the rest possible for his knees and I fully support that but on the other hand we really need those 20-25 minutes a night right now.
🤣
Well that’s relief. Guess we are going 16-0 in the playoffs now.
We all want embiid back but the reality is he’s only gonna be back for a week or 3 before the next knee injury.

I’m so sick of this crap.
I’m calling cap there’s nothing wrong with his right knee ……trying to save him for playoffs
See ya tomorrow 🫡
Can his spirit suit up?
A tale as old as time at this point now
I never thought there’ll be another sixer player I love more than AI and then my African brethren Embiid came along but at this point the fat lady is beyond warned up
Old yeller is out there limping…. I can see the shed and know what must be done but I can’t bring myself to it 😔 😢
I honestly am tired of hearing/reading updates if it’s not him getting back on the floor. Everything else is meaningless IMO.
