The Sixers may have to finish the season without Embiid and his presence in the Paris Olympics is in question

The only centers that should outscore Ballo 21-8 in a half are Embiid and Jokic.
On cue he puts this dude under the basket. Thank you. – 9:08 PM

You really do have to feel for Joel Embiid. The guy just works his tail off to add to his game every single year and he has taken big steps forward to morph into a complete player out on the floor. This really is so unfortunate for him. Dude was having a dominant season. – 9:05 PM

Re: Joel Embiid: The latest update simply reveals he is undergoing surgery. The type of surgery (true repair Vs. removal) may not be known until after the procedure. A removal has a quicker return to play rate though comes with an increase in possible long-term issues. – 8:29 PM

This surgery doesn’t close the door on Joel Embiid possibly returning this season, I’m told. They will have a better sense of the timeline once the operation is complete. – 8:16 PM

Talked a lot about Joel Embiid tonight on the pod and worked under the assumption that he’d be out for a substantial period of time. So if you want like 25 minutes of the Sixers options and where they go from here, it’s what we opened with on the show:

Kinda assuming the Sixers are expecting Embiid to opt for surgery. Not sure what it means but maybe he’ll get a timeline of 4-8 weeks at best. If he returns maybe he’s just getting his legs under him for a road first round series.
With that possibility in mind, whatever trades… – 2:42 PM

More on this storyline
Adrian Wojnarowski: The door isn’t closed on an Embiid return this season, sources tell ESPN, but there will be a clearer idea on a timeline once the procedure is complete this week. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 4, 2024
At this point, the Sixers will have to rely on more of a drive-and-kick offense. While Embiid does obviously attract so much attention that it makes it easier to find open looks from deep, it will now be on Maxey to be sure Philadelphia gets those same looks. “Absolutely,” Kelly Oubre Jr. told Sixers Wire of shooting more 3s. “Every team comes in here, they drive and kick, drive and kick, drive and kick, they attack the paint. Kick it out to wide-open 3s or they score the layups and it’s very simple, but when we try to do it, it’s like we don’t know. The play breaks down, we got to an iso situation, and at the end of the day, teams are doing to us what we need to be doing every game.” -via Sixers Wire / February 4, 2024
Austin Krell: The Sixers OUT for tomorrow vs Dallas: Nico Batum Robert Covington Joel Embiid – official diagnosis, as of now, remains meniscus injury in left knee Kenny Lofton Jr. De’Anthony Melton Tobias Harris is questionable with an illness. -via Twitter @NBAKrell / February 4, 2024
