Not what I wanted to see from one of my fav Twitter sports doctors
November 23, 2024
Just one man’s opinion, but he’s my go to guy for NFL player injuries. Hopefully he doesn’t know (basket)ball, but damn 😔

So glad Morey gave him a max extension with multiple years left on the contract before seeing what he looked like post surgery 🙃
There is something inherently scummy about doctors making diagnosis from afar.
He may be right but if he is not no one will call him on it and he will skip away with his engagement. There is no downside for people like this to make posts like this.
Also D Wade didn’t “decline” until 2017-2019. Wade had as good a year in 2014 as the prior 2 years.
Anyway no one can tell the future we will wait and see.
With two emerging guards, Jo can play Old Man ball now, develop a hook shot, dominate
If we build this team right Embiid can fall off into a better version of the Raps Gasol or Bucks Lopez and we still compete
If his knee can’t even handle that role then yeah we’re cooked
If this is the worst it gets I’ll take it, we just saw a non elite looking Joel score 30+ pts
Jo already said he will be playing with the knee brace for the rest of his career. I’m no doctor, but it does seem suspect that his knee is still bothering him after he returned for the playoffs, played minimal minutes in the Olympics, rested for the rest of the summer and couldn’t start the first 2 weeks of the season and now on his return missess more than the 2nd of back to backs due to his knee. No one wants to admit it when it happens, but we knew his decine was coming. I just hope he can transition to a style of play where he doesn’t have to try and carry the team and still be productive.
I think we’re seeing why they essentially only want him to play in the playoffs… if we get there
Uh oh, Sixers defenders struggling to accept truth even from reputable sources saying it over and over again.
Remember we started the process because we hated draft late in first rounds because of early playoff exits year after year. Welp….here we are. Shitty decade.
We just have to let it play out fellas. We have Maxey and McCain, those two are who this season is going to be about, if Embiid and PG are healthy and can contribute, that will be icing on the cake. The preseason hype and expectations are all but dead.
Jo needs to accept that he’s not that guy any more. Take open shots, move the ball when you’re covered, no more iso ball. Basically he can be late career Tim Duncan, who was still extremely effective or he can be a net-negative when he plays.
all jo needs to do is set a pick walk to the foul line and wait for the pass and hit the automatic jumper.
Man, why with a case like Wade, GM’s and doctor still think with short lenght and do a meniscectomy. He should have done the long term one that didn’t took a part of his meniscus…
Materials science has to have come far enough that they can insert some fake meniscus like stuff in there to help with the cushioning. I’m surprised that isn’t a thing. I’d donate a meniscus to the cause if it helped.
I mean, it looks so obvious that his career is over. Probably has been told by multiple Doctors that condition will not improve, I’m not sure what people are thinking?
This sucks. He’s never getting a ring. I really like Joel, but he does a lot of things that makes him hard to like.
Missing two games after playing one tells you everything you need to know. Doesn’t take a doctor to figure it out

You will die, It is a certainty of carbon based lifeforms the sun will also burn out at some point think of 2024 onward as decaying. There will still be good days but not sustainable

Why did he play in the Olympics?!! Dude has a $69M player option in 2029 and turning into Bynum & Oden in front of our eyes. Yikes
I made the same diagnosis based on the last game he played
Middle Finger to that Twitter sports doctor
Ouch 😢
He needs the Mr. Miyagi cure all
If you didn’t realize this then your not paying attention. Take the rose colored glasses off.
I don’t think a stats dip will happen tho when he’s on the court he’ll just be in his kawhi arc
Don’t trust any medical diagnosis without first hand testing and observation. Lots of opinions and not enough facts. Might be true but nothing better than a guess.
These actors invent new jobs everyday lol doctor online giving advice for free is nuts
This is an unfortunate reality. The inevitable wear and tear, especially for a dude that tall pushing 300+, is going to hit him hard.
SportsMedAnal… now I can get into that
Does anyone know if the extension has anything built in for games played and stuff like that like the first one did? I’m guessing no because the front office is full of terrible decision makers when it comes to giving contracts.
We all know his knee is fucked and will most likely never be what he once was. But I’mma stick beside him until he’s retired.
The guy destroyed his knees trying to carry this team to a championship…and he’s getting crapped on by everyone…
Better get that Lonzo Ball transplant surgery while he still can….
this is obvious. hes toast. the org doesn’t know how to come to terms with it, and he objectively should never have played the olympics.
trade trade trade trade trade. i know it can’t technically happen until the offseason but tamper if you must. this dude has to be off the team as soon as possible
I think we should trade Embiid as soon as we can to a championship level team.
Let Embiid get his ring and let’s get some great pieces.
