[Injury] Joel Embiid gets injured and heads to the locker room after a drive and a collision with Jaylen Brown (with replays)
It’s honestly unreal
To be fair I had appendix surgery and anything that stretch the abdomen hurt like shit 2 months after that movement in this clip would hurt like a mofo but it’s more of a pain tolerance thing. So that’s why hes back on the court.
Did you have it laparoscopically removed? I had mine out last year and felt fine after a week or so. The three incisions were tiny too, I was surprised.
Embiid’s injury or Brown’s elbow?
He’s elbowed our entire roster throughout this series. Including Paul George in the nuts and didn’t even get flagrant 1
It’s the only way he can create offense.
cooking the celtics now
I’m not trying to be insensitive, but the dude really needs to just retire
Well he’s already back, should’ve retired in the past couple minutes
what do they got in the locker room for this kind of turn around from agony to high level basketball?
They got some pit crew of knee replacements? Because he moving like he burns through 6 pairs of knees a game.
Because he’s genuinely a resilient and tough player. He is absolutely injury prone but no one can question his toughness. The last time this dude played basketball without any pain was prolly 5 years ago
He dropped 33 tonight lol
Needs to see out his contract
Yup. Embiid got $$$$ reasons to keep playing through the pain tbh.
Still three years left on his deal, absolutely insane
time to retire from commenting
Damn unfortunately he just dropped 33⁄8 in an elimination game, should’ve listened to you
Would you if you still had $187 million to collect?
Didn’t think so
I would have given up and retired after the first year’s 4 million came in lmao. Bro already has $300 million in earnings too. I do find it impressive how these guys can keep up the grind even after earning generational money.
I mean why would he retire when teams are still willing to give him millions of dollars?
To make sure he can still walk his kids down the aisle without a wheelchair
With that much money he can by a pair of cybernetic legs to get him down the aisle.
Joel and AD are the only big men in the nba where when they jump I hold my breath. And the reason why I’ve seen lately when Joel jumps when he lands he never bends his knees, probably cuz he doesn’t have knees anymore but this hurts
Same but also Wemby for me. I don’t think he’s particularly injury prone but just seeing someone that tall and skinny is scary
Joel is way worse
The way he lands, it looks like a deer
Idk why Embiid doesn’t load when landing. It should be way better on his knees if he takes a brunt of that up through his glutes and quads
he’s already back out on the court
That is awesome
He gave his body for that MVP
And don’t forget the Olympics
As much as people shit on him the U.S. doesn’t get to the gold medal game without him in that Semifinal.
Still can’t believe he was a traitor to Africa so that he would never make it past the 2nd round in the weak ass eastern conference.
“traitor to Africa”
Cameroon needs to qualify without NBA talent in order for NBA talent to play in major tournaments. It’s the same reason Siakam hasn’t played for them either.
….. white people just be saying anything behind a keyboard.
absolute NPC comments in here pleading for him to retire, get a grip
I think it was a charlie horse type of injury. Like one minute you’re begging someone to just amputate your leg off the next min you’re fine
Cursed.
Embiid has some fucking balls man, to even be out there is insane
I sometimes see people say “injury prone” isn’t a thing and then poor Embiid continues to prove them wrong.
Collision?
Brother might wanna hang them hang up, at this rate he’ll die on the court
No way he’ll give up the money in my opinion.
He’ll finish out his contract at least.
This isn’t even funny anymore. Just sad
I hate to see it, man. I worry for his legs when he’s old.
jb elbowed him in the thigh and he crumbled? lol
At what point should the NBA step in and force him to retire?
He was playing good too
First off, where was the collision? Second off is Joel made of glass? Third, how many free throws did SGA get for this?
Retire dude.
He just needs to retire please
It gets to a point..
In other news, water is wet
Scheduled post.

Lol is it even a bitch take when it literally is reality
Looks like you get triggered as much as embiid gets hurt 😂
He lasted about a game and a half! Did you guys expect more? This is Joel Embiid we’re talking about…
I would waive his contract or some shit at this point, like there is no use he can bring to any team.
Of course he did lol
