Joel Embiid was well operated this week and many hope that the pivot will be able to return to his best level. Others, on the other hand, still fear the worst for his career. The next season could be a turning point.
We have been suspecting for months that the Sixers will not see the color of the playoffs. The franchise has never managed to launch its season, the fault especially the injuries. Joel Embiid was constantly embarrassed by his knee, while Paul George also had his share of injuries. His first season in Philly is a bitter failure.
But if we listen to the leaders, the franchise will come back to the fore, even if the summer of 2025 will be important to try to keep their workforce. We think of Guerschon Yabusele, whose future remains unknown at the moment. However, among supporters, we are mainly concerned about the health of Embiid and a possible retreat.
Back in force possible for Joel Embiid?
The word retirement may seem a little strong and yet it is perhaps the player's career that is played in 2026. After years of galleys, to chain operations on the knee and to have seeds, some think that this is the last opportunity for Embiid to shine. It was also operated and the Sixers gave some news.
@Kyleneubeck : “The Sixers announced that Joel Embiid was well operated on his knee on Wednesday. The procedure on Embiid was carried out by Dr. Jonathan Glashow, who has already worked with Kawhi Leonard (among others) in the past. »»
Reassuring? We do not know, but many hope that it will be enough to allow Embiid to find its superb.
The clock runs for the star, who knows that the Sixers need him to succeed in recovering a title within the Eastern Conference. But this may be his last chance, because otherwise, the front office could squarely think about a trade if injuries are repeated. And this is not a desirable scenario.
Note that, still according to the Sixers, Embiid will be reassessed in 6 weeks to take stock. This should allow him to have a relaxing summer and be able to work on his game and his health. Ideal before an important campaign.
@EliClark76: “With Kawhi?” Is that supposed to reassure me or worry? »»
Joel Embiid was well operated and it is a long rehabilitation that begins for him. But the most important thing arrives next season, with the obligation to take a CAP. Otherwise, it will undoubtedly need in depth changes.
