Joel Embiid has missed three of the Sixers’ first 19 games this season, including each of the past two. The Sixers have lost all three games, the first two of which were far bigger routs than the final score might suggest.
“NBA team is worse without its best player” is the type of hard-hitting analysis that you come to Liberty Ballers for, I know. Good luck finding a team for which that isn’t true, particularly when said player is the league’s reigning MVP.
The Sixers don’t stand a chance in the playoffs unless Embiid makes it there in one piece.
