“We’re professional athletes, That’s the schedule; you just gotta do it,” said Embiid. “But yeah, tough. Especially playing Indiana twice and then on a back-to-back, playing the best team in the league, it’s tough. But no excuses.”
Poor guy looked and sounded so defeated saying it too
Some specific stats
2nd time in 2023 he was held to 20 PTS or under. The other game he left due to injury after 16 min. Al Horford is still his daddy.
6th time in his career worse than -25
Half of those against the Celtics
MVP going to have to find another level this year
He was literally playing on the second leg of a b2b after playing 38 minutes the night before against the highest pace team in the league. That man had tired legs at tipoff 🤣
Let's not act like he didn't shit on Horford and the Celtics just a week prior when he was rested. The Celtics will double and send everything they have at Embiid as usual, but there's no one on that team that is stopping him individually.
