Nah I made it pretty clear the amount of games he plays will be the primary reason his contract is a boat anchor for Philly
It's really irrelevant as long as he was healthy for the playoffs. And this is not something he has control over. Its not like a knee or foot failing him. Just terrible luck.
Playing the way he has this season (knee has felt great according to Embiid) with PG looking great, and Maxey/Edgecomb. They were looking dangerous come playoff time for a low seed. Not a team anyone wants in the first round. Without Embiid that's just not the same case, although they'll still be decent if everyone else is healthy.
