NO DODGING? THE VENERAL JOEL EMBIID WOULD NEVER DODGE
Potential elevation games in Embiid's career: 20
Games played at elevation over Embiid's career: 5
We can split this into two different categories:
Category 1: Extended injury absence
Category 2: Selective sitting
Category 2, Exhibit A:
Embiid plays @Portland, plays 34 minutes
Rest Day
Embiid skips @Denver
Embiid plays next game
Dodge Count: 1
Category 2, Exhibit B:
Embiid plays @San Antonio, plays 37 minutes
TWO Rest Days
Embiid skips @Denver
TWO Rest Days
Embiid plays next game
Dodge Count: 2
Category 2, Exhibit C:
Embiid plays @Sacramento, plays 29 minutes
TWO Rest Days
Embiid skips @Utah
Embiid plays next game
Dodge Count: 3
Category 2, Exhibit D:
Embiid plays @Indiana, plays 28minutes
THREE Rest Days
Embiid skips @Utah
Rest Day
Embiid plays next game
Dodge Count: 4
Category 2, Exhibit E:
Embiid plays @Phoenix, plays 36 minutes
Rest Day
Embiid skips @Utah
Rest Day
Embiid plays next game
Dodge Count: 5
He missed 25% of all elevation games with Category 2 (remember, strategic rest days - meaning he could have selected the game prior or after to do it)
Didn't read but I agree
