Embiid: Spilling his guts for his team on the court.

KD: Spilling his guts under a burner online.

can’t we just acknowledge the good in this post

KD was clearly prevented by the team. the guy who risked his achilles for super team would have played here. that’s why he didn’t sit on the bench. even told the prime social media intern he was playing and somehow at same time shams had tweet about him being out

He did the same in 2019 and eventually returned in that series. Overblown issue

Because KD is and always will be a bitch

Since when has sitting on a bench became a unwritten rule with you reddit dudes

Embiid is a sixer, he’s given his body for the team. KD is a mercenary who doesn’t give a shit about the rockets

He was getting treated.

Haters always looking to invent reasons to hate.

Dumbass take tbh

I think KD is sitting out on purpose. Why risk the injury further when yk ur gonna lose down 0-3 anyways? Without a real PG, he knows his team is cooked

He probably doesn’t want to risk his career by playing to win a 1st round series and face the Thunder next round. Especially after what happened in the 2019 Finals.

Dealt with chronic injuries and people claim he leaves when it gets tough hopefully he plays well today

Sorry to tell you man, but he’s actually been a Sixer this whole time. The warriors are all the way on the other side of the country

People are so weird about this dude.

I had appendectomy many years ago. Took me 1 month and a half to feel normal.

I’m starting to believe he really did fight a lion as a child

I was excited reading this comment than u reminded me of his playoff injures…

His left armpit will explode or something game 5

I remember everyone cooking him for dodging a Denver game due to ‘injury’, he came back too fast and then got a more serious injury.

Man this Sixers team has played great this playoffs without him, this series got really interesting.

I was certain he was going to play in this series. To me his reputation is maybe coming back too soon from injury.

He’ll never win a ring and I think he and everyone else has accepted that, but he will go down as an all-time tough player.

He’s very clearly a 76er though ??

Every Celtics fan I know absolutely loves Embiid, he’s tough as hell.

He gets paid to play, which he does only half the time. We’ve never been out of the second round with him. Embiid stans are wild

They’re saying he kept his appendix and it’s in his locker.

I had an Appendectomy as a child and I had to relearn how to walk for weeks. Him coming back in less than 3 ready to play in the playoffs is fucking insanity.

Sure. He’s a warrior. A dirty player with more injuries than he’s worth. But yea, no problem admitting he’s got guts.

I put this in the Celtics sub, but it took me 22 days just to be able to leave the hospital, I wasn’t a functioning human until a long while after, let alone play sports. Embiid is a tough mf’er!
Celtics in 5

This is truly insane. I’ve seen several people take 2 months to get back to moving around at speed.

I can only pray that his body doesn’t disintegrate once he steps on the court. His biggest enemy is himself

I’m expecting a self lob off the backboard tonight

Ah, I see you have Joel Embiided in the past.

I’m questioning how he’s even doin it, crazy mf

You can call him a lot of things, a no-show er is not one of them since the man is always trying to get back in there even when his body is falling apart. Much respect to Embiid for that.

100% 

I hate Joel because he plays for Philly, I don’t need anything beyond that. 

But he’s never not tried to play through injury and he’s had so many. 

I’ll respect that he’s willing to always put his body on the line because he wants that one deep playoff run. 

He’s really not that tough. You wanna know tough? I stubbed my toe last week while watering my spice garden and I only cried for twenty minutes.

Is he gonna scratch his butthole and sniff it?

I respect Maxey’s hustle not gonna lie. 

Wait, what BS did PG go through?

Edgecomb is a certified baller

Maxey is cool but Edgecombe is who won me over. Will be tuned in tonight

I’m liking Edgecomb so far. Dude seems to have a good head on his shoulders and has good vets with him. Sixers are gonna be fineeeeee.

Most uncomplicated appys are laparoscopic nowadays, which means that most of the incisions are, indeed, quite tiny, often less than 2 centimeters in length.

I sure do lol

I hate him for his flopping and some laughably blatant attempts at injuring other players, but I will always defend him when it comes to people questioning his desire and drive to play.

He’s probably sacrificed his body’s longterm health with how much he’s forced on it through the years. The guy cares a lot.

They really need to go back to that full time

I don’t think him doing things like this has anything to do with where the slander is

Reckless shit like hurling himself into a defender’s knees.

oh no, not famous celtics killer joel embiid

Do you think Golden State would let us borrow Al for a couple games? 

Well.

Laparoscopic surgeries have really small incisions. He was likely just waiting for the inflammation to go down rather than anything to do with the incisions.

Laprascopic surgeries are usually very minimal cuts, most of the time they get closed up with surgical glue and dissolving stitches. That was probably part of the clearance, plus he’s got a big protective wrap on during shoot around.

It was very random and he had the surgery right away

To be fair this is unprecedented lol.

You were told by fans from every team, I’d assume

Probably the same people saying KD is faking his injury

You got that dawg in you
