Joel Embiid

How serious is the bone bruise in Joel Embiid’s left knee that has caused him to miss him five straight games? Serious enough that he’ll miss a sixth consecutive matchup when the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Detroit Pistons Monday night, but not so serious that head coach Brett Brown is worried. Per Philly.com’s Keith [...]

Philadelphia 76ers fans are free to breathe. Joel Embiid is going to be okay. After suffering a knee contusion in the team’s Friday night victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, he will not be suiting up on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Or on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. But he will take the floor [...]

Joel Embiid has been quite possibly the most interesting and mesmerizing NBA player on and off the court this season, with his seemingly limitless potential, rapid development and his status as the most interesting NBA player on social media that we have probably ever seen. After two seasons of recovery and rehabilitation for a chronic [...]

Joel Embiid is a mesmerizing talent on an NBA court and a constant source of entertainment, personality and humor off of it. The rookie of the year (let’s just crown him now) is leading the 76ers in points, rebounds and blocks and his stats per 36 minutes are mind-numbing for a rookie: 27.8 points, 10.8 [...]

It turns out Joel Embiid wasn’t kidding when he talked about the Philadelphia 76ers’ making the playoffs. Well that, or he’s still kidding. Following the Sixers’ come-from-behind victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday—which featured a game-winner from T.J. McConnell, because it’s 2017, and apparently T.J. McConnell hits game-winners in 2017—Embiid doubled down on [...]

It finally happened fam: Former Philadelphia 76ers general manager/author of “The Process” tallied an All-Star vote on Joel Embiid’s behalf. Granted, Hinkie’s ballot was not unsolicited; Embiid coerced him into action with this tweet: [tweet https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/818936573756665856] Sam Hinkie responded with this shortly thereafter: [tweet https://twitter.com/samhinkie/status/818954355227267072] Hot damn, that’s a lot of votes in one shot. [...]

A double-digit win over the Brooklyn Nets goes a long way. Apparently. Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ 105-95 victory over the Nets on Sunday, Rookie of the Year favorite Joel Embiid set a lofty goal for his team, per the Associated Press’ Brian Mahoney: Embiid has looked at the standings and seen the 76ers are eight games [...]

Now that the Joel Embiid-Jahlil Okafor frontcourt is a tried-and-true statistical disaster, you can expect to see more Embiid-Nerlens Noel partnerships. We think. We hope. Per Tom Moore of Calkins Media: While Brown said he’s probably not going to use big men Embiid and Jahlil Okafor together as much as he did during the recent [...]

Joel Embiid impressed DeMarcus Cousins during the Sacramento Kings’ 102-100 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. So much so that Cousins believes Embiid will one day be the best center in the NBA—after Cousins leaves it, of course: [tweet https://twitter.com/RG_Notorious/status/813626146210205696] This is very dope, in its humor. It’s proof that there may be [...]

The plot between Nerlens Noel and the Philadelphia Sixers…is getting weirder. Not 48 hours ago, it seemed like Noel would be out of the Sixers’ rotation indefinitely, which would in turn lead to the trade we’ve all been waiting for. But general manager Bryan Colangelo clearly has other ideas, per CSN Philly’s Jessica Camerato: [tweet [...]
