The Sixers hope to bounce back next season with Joel Embiid, but there are obviously doubts about the pivot. Some doctors were questioned and … let's say that it is not encouraging for the future.
Contenders for the title at the start of the season, at least for the leaders, the Sixers finally finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The franchise has never managed to launch the machine, the fault of injuries and a trio may not be that exceptional. Tyrese Maxey has progress to make, Joel Embiid never seemed himself, just like Paul George in the end.
Supporters are worried enough for the future of the organization. PG13 may be like a casting error, he who has never achieved great performances, even when he was healthy. But we imagine that it will be better if Embiid manages to regain his real level. The player wants to believe it after his operation in early April.
What return for Joel Embiid?
Operated and reassessed in 6 weeks according to the doctors, Embiid will spend a rather quiet summer. No competition this time, he who can fully focus on his health and find his real level. But is it still capable? Some doctors, who mentioned the file for Mark Medina, do not really agree.
Alexander Weber : “You will have to be careful and not only with the next season, but for the whole of your career. He has an important problem with his knee. It is only necessary to hope that he is able to manage this and to have a bit a bit like LONZO BALL. Hopefully the result of his intervention ends a bit like him. »»
Lonzo Ball seemed good for retirement for a while with serious knee worries for years, chaining absences and operations. But he has found an interesting level among the Bulls since then, so there is hope for Embiid.
Shaheen Jadidi : “You can't play basketball in the NBA with a knee to replace. They may be able to play it next year with a slower style of play, but it may well be in constant suffering. He may need injections and the rest to try to hide it. Once you lose cartilage, you can't get it back. »»
Suffice to say that it is not famous for Joel Embiid, who will have to manage the next seasons as well as possible. But his 2026 campaign with the Sixers may well be his last in order to have a real chance of title.
