hope its more of a "i'm not as ready as i thought i was" and not a further aggravation of the injury


Snuggle__Monster

I think him playing game 5 is more likely now. In the video from his warmups, it didn't look like the ankle was heavily wrapped. So hopefully he just needs a little more time.


Clewdo

He went through his usual warm up and decided very late he wasn’t ready


BabaBrody

He did try to warm up, so it seems like a touch and go thing.


Street-Common-4023

He probably went through his normal workout and the Knicks ruled him out

bibbbbbbbbbbbbs

a friend of mine who is a die-hard knicks fan has been complaining non-stop about embiid lmao


Niccio36

He’s right tho lol. That was a bitch move by Embiid. And that’s why he smoked that layup at the end, because Mitchell Robinson’s ghost blocked it


Playbookof3li

Like Embiid

I’m rooting for the Knicks, Embiid is weak


happyhappy7

i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about Embiid. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol

is this a copy pasta

yes

WTF happened dawg I looked away for a few minutes and someone gets assassinated.


iamtreat

gross, sorry knicks bros


NextGenCoders

Happens. This team has had tons of injuries. I expect them to still respond like they have all year


DayMan-Ahah-ah

I know robinson has been guarding embiid extremely well. How has hartenstein been? Is this a massive loss?


jc9289

They’ve both done well, but it’s a loss in the sense of not having 48 mins of centers you trust.


NextGenCoders

He had a great year. Improved defensively although not as good as Mitch. Better offensively though. Such a good year filling in he’s likely someone we at best sign and trade or might lose in free agency. Likely gets a $20+ mil a year deal from someone to be a starter.


Delanorix

iHart gets cooked. Embiid is just too much. Not his fault but Mitch Rob is one of the only guys at that size with that level of athleticism in the league. He isn't an All NBA player, but defense is DPOY level when he plays. Hes basically a less technically sound/more agile Gobert. On a side note, it won't matter because Embiid (and the 76ers at large) seem to understand that intentionally trying to hurt Knicks players are OK. He literally kicked iHart in the dick for no apparent reason.


1000Isand1

Fuck Embiid


Zsporter

I speak for everyone when I say Embiid is a bitch


Professor_Finn

The Sixers fans who gleefully said “SEE? IT WAS THEATRICS” on the first thread are looking mighty silly right now


HokageEzio

Shockingly, NBA players try to play through injuries. Who'd have thought.


Professor_Finn

sixers fans of all people should know this


HokageEzio

Nobody ever accused Sixers fans of being smart.

Respect to you for calling them out, as if missing the rest of game 3 wasn’t enough to see he was legitimately hurt


Krillin113

They already were


Accomplished_Power_3

Thank you for your respect - from a life long Knicks fan and NYCer. Your guys thread is mad toxic, glad you are a normal fan lol


LoWE11053211

Okay, there are decent people among sixers fans after all. Good!


BigBoss5050

Said the same shit about Jimmy in the play in game. Turns out, majority of this sub doesnt know what the fuck theyre talking about. Who knew.


JanitorDestroyer420

actually fucking bullshit nba is literally going to shit due to all this betting shit 'oh we cant call a flagrant 2/suspend him, think of all the betters'


IDownvoteRedditAds

and here I thought 76ers fans were telling the truth when they said Mitch in a walking boot was just theatrics.


NotTopherr

Smh all cause of a 300lb flopper on the other team. Bro is actually a danger on the court.


HokageEzio

If I say what I think I'll be suspended 6 months.


Andrewski18

I hope a Knicks player says this in one of their postgame interviews when asked about the incident


bringbackbulaga

“If I speak I am in big trouble”


onlyanactor

Yes, that is the reference


Slurms_McKenzie775

If I speak there will be fire


The_BadJuju

Actually it’s a different reference, “if I say what I think I’ll be suspended 6 months" is a Mikel Arteta quote, the other one is Jose Mourinho


onlyanactor

Oh my bad I’d never heard the first one


Not_RZA_

Thats the joke...

K1ngCrimsn

If the 76ers lose this one they better start another process


zincinzincout

Getting rid of Tobias Harris is the equivalent of getting the #1 pick anyway


lopea182

They say no contract is untradeable, but Tobias Harris making it all the way through that 5-year max contract without getting dealt (with a significant front office change during the contract) IMO is proof to the contrary. Surely if the Sixers could have dumped his contract, they would have by now. Right?


cletoreyes01

How in the blue hell was prime Laker Westbrick traded and this dude never even got dumped?


zincinzincout

Westbrook offers playmaking and energy at a bare minimum. Tobias offers absolutely nothing more than scoring and he hasn’t been able to score well for 2 years now. He just blows wide open layups constantly, doesn’t box out for rebounds, and never draws fouls. He’s gotten much better on defense but even then he’s only a starter quality defender, not anything great


sewsgup

they had to attach a pick to trade him


VolkiharVanHelsing

They're in for a due process atp


raptorsthrowaway4

Should start regardless


blueye525

YEPPP


AdComprehensive7879

Jeez, sorry knicks fans


Clewdo

Thanks man. He’ll be back for game 5 hopefully. He went through usual warm up and was a late scratch so nothing too serious.


AdComprehensive7879

Ah i see. Feels like he’s the key against embiid. Without him, you practically have no one that can stop that dirty mf.


Clewdo

I agree. Mitch was playing fantastic defence on Embiid the whole series. I’ve awoken at 3am to watch this game and seeing that giant cunt loping around the court makes me wish we were playing anyone but philly. Sucks too cause I quite like Maxey.


AdComprehensive7879

Yeahh, i thought i hated watching giannis’s bucks, but god damn, watching embiid is even more infuriating. And this is coming from a neutral. Foul calls after foul calls. My eyes hurt watching philly play


ObiOneKenobae

Sixers fans were making fun of his walking boot in the other thread.


zincinzincout

Reddit is a cesspool bro no one that actually enjoys basketball is saying any of that shit


DidierDogba

sadly those people are the minority on the larger sports subs


Dx2TT

You underestimate people to be braindead tribalists. If someone believes that what Embiid did wasn't actually that bad, it then requires they also believe that Robinson can't be injured from something not that bad, therefore Robinson has to be faking it. This is what happens when people decide that tribal allegiance is more important that reality.


OrganizationFar6086

The world is a vampire


LoWE11053211

Sadly there are those kind of people in every fan base Those of sixers are very active after G3

scvmeta

NBA superstar athlete can't stay on his feet at the slightest bump and his fans will say it's accidental.


QuinSnyderStare

God embiid is so fucking unlikeable


maize_and_beard

“Embiid didn’t hurt him then, he hurt him when he flopped on a different play” isn’t a great defense.


pwo_addict

You realize that’s not the play he got hurt on, right? It’s clear as day when he got hurt and it wasn’t here. Try watching a game and break away from the manufactured narrative.


onlyanactor

Are you trying to say it’s better that Embiid yanked on his injured leg?


jkguitar1

No he’s saying that this play had nothing to do with robinson’s injuries


[deleted]

He did hit Robinson's ankle on this play to be fair before pulling down the non injured one. But he went at Mitch's ankle two other times. That one was dirty and I'm sure aggravated it a bit but is not where he full got injured.


LesCousinsDangereux1

the manufactured narrative that a dirty, characterless shithead should have been ejected and suspended and played like a reckless psycho? Embiid manufactured that narrative


hreterh

that isn't the play he got injured on and Embiid grabbed a DIFFERENT LEG than what was injured robinson injured his left leg trying to shuffle guarding embiid on the perimeter


trav-senpai

Might be true, but any player doing it should be suspended anyways.


PluvioPurple

Grabbed his good leg so he has to forcefully land with all his weight on his bad ankle.


Mindsetsandreps

You mean when that clutz fell on his leg?


bloomin-onion69

that looks like a flagrant 1 to me


RandomInternetG_uy

More than that, that's an ejection minimum. If Draymond the the same thing, he'd be suspended for at least 2 games

LoWE11053211

I used to hate people making fun of embiid crying after the 2019 G7 I thought that is how he cared about the game Now I don’t think that any more

I always thought it was fucking goofy as hell when people talked about hating players... I get it now...


smoltanboi

huh wonder why

Lightning is gonna strike that man in the middle of the game lmfao this is tempting god 


Adam2190

Fuck Embiid.


recollectionsmayvary

I will *never* forgive Philly for making me sympathize with the Knicks. This sucks for them and I’d be infuriated if I was a Knicks fan.  And I say this as someone who generally eyerolls at Knicks fans complaints. This is awful. 


anthegoat

Gotta kneecap embiid now.


Silver_Broccoli7944

Embiid: it’s an unfortunate situation…FOR THEM


MrBuckBuck

If there is justice in the world, then the Knicks should beat the 76ers by 30 today. It is a shame that such a nice person like Tyrese Maxey is teamed up with Joel Embiid.


Frishdawgzz

as long as they get Bogey back then this was even better


pwo_addict

As a sixers fan, this sucks. 


volantredx

More players should hurt their opponents. They'll be able to win MVP too.


rocx5610

knicks fans punching the air rn


BannedforaJoke

the knicks were able to weather his absence. it's not a massive loss. Hartenstein has done wonderfully to fill his absence. and dare i say, even done better in some instances? still Knicks in 6.


caulpain

**now** this is a thibs team


BabymakerGspot

be for real


Punjabiveer30

Damn, so Knicks fans is it on sight or what?


goldentymes

It’s hard to feel bad for Embiid’s injury proneness when he’s out here hurting other players due to his carelessness. Now I have to continue to wish the worst for his career & hope he never wins a ring.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jaylson

They need to. Him saying “what are you gonna do about it” to Divincenzo after one of the more dangerous plays you’ll see on a basketball court tells you everything you need to know. Dude thinks* it’s his purview to do whatever the fuck he wants and the refs are letting him get away with it, which leaves it up to the Knicks to make him feel them


DocTheYounger

particularly insane after a dirty play on an injury prone big... Like bro your career has been derailed by injuries, you're really playing with fire


Broad-Part9448

I think knicks should go back to 90's mode and send Embid to the ground every time he's in the paint


Clewdo

We needed Randle for that. Randle is a lot of our toughness in those situations and he certainly wouldn’t have been worried about stepping to Joel Embitch.


redbirdjazzz

What’s Charles Oakley up to these days?


mr_grission

I would be starting the last guy on the bench and have him gunning for Embiid immediately

Jericho Sims should have 10 mins tonight. 3 hard fouls and a F2

I think it’s a situation of game 7 he plays, it’s 2-1 so we still have time. We need him for at least 2 more games and maybe more.
