1. The original column about Embiid was needlessly personal.
2. You definitely can’t get physical over that if you’re a player.
3. If the reported line about JE “doing something to the reporter he’ll have to live with if his brother was mentioned again” is true, 3 games is light – 4:58 PM

The suspension for Embiid begins when he is healthy, which is important. So it won’t run concurrent to him trying to make it back on the floor. – 4:53 PM

Depending when Joel Embiid is deemed “ready to play” in regards to this suspension is very interesting.
If that happens this Friday against the Lakers, his first game of the season would be Nov. 13 against the #Cavs. – 4:35 PM

Joel Embiid’s return could be around the corner. Which of the glaring problems on display during the 1-5 start to the season does he instantly solve?
Debating that with @_devongivens and @KyleNeubeck at 3.

Context matters, but the Sixers are 1-5 to open the year. Will Joel Embiid’s return fix all or most of their problems, or do their issues run deeper?

Touched on a few things, but spent most of my time evaluating the Sixers’ center depth behind Joel Embiid — and questioning why more options don’t exist for Nick Nurse if Embiid missing extended time has been planned.

Nice c&s corner 3 from McCain. When he’s playing alongside combinations of Embiid, George and Maxey, just making that shot with consistency (which I expect him to do) will be valuable.
Really wish he didn’t then completely lose his defensive assignment on the next possession. – 10:53 PM

As it relates to Embiid’s availability and the latest round of media/fan pressure being applied for him to play, team sources say this time has been made all the more difficult because the Sixers truly believed he would be ready at the start of the regular season Oct. 23. That’s why they made so many rose-colored-glasses statements publicly about his health, glossing over the truth about the left knee problem that the league ultimately deemed a legitimate concern. In doing so, they honored Embiid’s well-known wishes of being as private as possible when it comes to his health. -via New York Times / November 5, 2024
