Shams has dropped a bombshell, revealing that Joel Embiid is contemplating shutting down the season for surgery. This news comes amidst a tumultuous period for the Sixers, with their playoff hopes dwindling by the day. Despite recent claims by Darl M that the team still harbors aspirations for a special season, the reality on the court tells a different story. The Sixers find themselves outside the play-in spots, struggling to secure a playoff berth.
The situation is further complicated by the recent benching of Embiid during a crucial fourth quarter matchup against the Nets. As the opposing center, Nick Claxton, outpaced and outplayed Embiid, questions arose about the star player's effectiveness on the court. Embiid's offensive game has faltered, reducing him to a mere shadow of his former dominant self. The team's performance actually improved when he was on the bench, a startling revelation for fans and analysts alike.
Adding fuel to the fire is the ongoing saga of Embiid's injury woes and questionable decision-making. His rushed return from a previous injury, exacerbated by a stint at the Olympics, has raised concerns about his long-term health. Fans have begun to sour on Embiid, not just for his injury proneness but also for his perceived lack of commitment and accountability. The Sixers' front office also faces scrutiny for their handling of the situation, with criticisms mounting over their failure to prioritize the team's future success.
