Bump

Embiid played full game 5 on 5 scrimmages looking slim and moving WELL. Even dunking in game too.

Also absolutely dominating 1 on 1's in practice.

Nurse said there's a slight chance he could play in the final preseason game 👀

Looks like he's ahead of what you initially thought. For now. Looks to be lighter than ever which should be great on his knees.

There's a slight chance I immediately pull Boardwalk and Park Place with my Quarter Pounder and fries order at McDonalds too

the article says he could be forced into early retirement and possibly won't be able to sustain his former MVP level play

nowhere did we say Embiid won't play another second of basketball. we all know he'll drop a random 50 on the Hornets or Wizards, maybe play around 40-50 games this season

What's "early" retirement though?

A big man his size is only expected to reach mid 30's at best. He's 31 now.

He shouldn't need to do everything he had to do before to carry. If Maxey and PG and their cast are healthy Embiid can average 20 PPG and lock the paint down and they'll win games.

Yes. He's not going to be ready to start the season but he will be ready eventually.

Glad I'm talking to myself in here too.
