   >Joel Embiid’s designation is no longer right knee injury management, instead it is right knee injury recovery.

   >For Paul George, there are two listings: left knee injury recovery and lower back tightness. George acknowledged the back tightness in his availability last night.

2. Joel “once a month” Embiid

3. Gotta feel a bit bad for Maxey

   At least VJ is back to lend him some aid, I guess

4. Yeah it’s hard for them to get any real flow if he’s not playing often.

5. Is this the list of active or injured starters?

6. Had to expect Joel out for this one after blowing through his min restriction last night, bigger question will be whether he plays for one of GS/Bucks

7. Sixers are cursed with injuries. Half the roster is out it seems like.

8. lol where’s all the people at the beginning of the year arguing with me Embiid was going to be fine? Did they stop living in their imaginations yet?

9. There’s no way this is a basketball roster. There’s just no way. You’re paid 100 MILLION DOLLARS to play professional basketball. If you have a tight back, get a fucking massager on the bench. See: Steve Nash.

   It’s absolutely criminal to see Tyrese at this high level and then you have Paul George who simply is not worth even the vicinity of his paycheck.

10. Like it’s gotta be frustrating to have Joel sit most of the time but then come back and still have a huge usage and have the whole offense and defense change the rare times he does play.

11. Highway robbery

12. Fuck me dead

13. I’m tired

14. Back to regularly scheduled programming

15. i thought it was PG’s ankle?

16. Paul George is a such a ridiculous loser

17. For PG to miss as much time as he did only to come back and barely play (and not look great when he does play) is fucking brutal

    We’ve gotta start capping Maxey’s minutes. This team isn’t winning anything while we have this version of PG and Embiid on the roster

18. Fell For It Again Award

19. See you MAYBE Thursday or Friday. But probably not.

20. By the time this team has money, we will be debating a total, Maxey-less, rebuild.

    The Embiid extension was so dumb.

    In a situation like this where there is no cap room and no trades out there for Joel or PG…wtf does Morey do? Just watch NCAABB? Run bench players and g leaguers through analysis to see who might be signed for cheap?

    I assume his plan was embiid andPG would be trade assets and we’d jump start a rebuild like this year, not in 3

21. Going to the game tmrw. Been to like 30-35 games over the last 5 years. Never seen Embiid play

22. Why are people in this thread acting surprised. Ya’ll thought they were going to play Embiid against the Wizards when Golden State is here on Thursday? Thats just setting yourself up for dissapointment.

    I’m super excited that Kelly might be back ❤️

23. What’s the point of running maxey into the ground to lose anyway. Nurse is just killing him

24. Brother, Drum-God was in a wheel chair and he’s playing the next game lol the man makes no sense and I love him for it

25. This team is disgusting

26. How many years do we have left of Joel “once a month” Embiid?
    Fuck times are grim

27. We could realistically get these updates in March 2029

28. Sixers need to find a way to get a good enough big while The 60% Brothers play twice a month. Drummond can’t do it alone.
