@BiasedPG13fan: “Ngl what are the sixers even playing for at this point? They most likely will end up tanking the season if things keep going like this to get a young asset but it won’t matter cause Embiid won’t be healthy next year either and PGs contract ruins depth options”

@Attari_0101: “Tough break for the Sixers, but it’s better to address this now. Keeping Embiid healthy is crucial for their long-term success. Hopefully, the treatment works, and he’s back stronger in no time.”
