Embiid Out 4-6 Months

[Stifle Tower]

Lions weigh between 300-500 lbs, Joel Embiid did not drag a lion when he was a kid. He's lion

He never claimed he killed an adult lion, did he?

RHAAAAR!

Just listened to a Doc on 1280 talk about this specific injury.....might have to recant.

Had surgery on foot today and so much for summer league or training camp. Perhaps the Jazz can take him with the 23rd pick.

Joel Embiid, C, Idaho Stampede; DNP - Inactive

You don't take chances on a player with a foot stress fracture. Maybe with our 23rd.

I'm thinking you don't take him til everyone that has a decent chance at being an all star is off the board. So take him around 8ish

So is the injury worse or not as bad as expected?

You take him if you're a GM for a franchise that can attract FA's. If he never plays, no biggie...you just go out and buy a replacement. He'd be a great pick for the Lakers at #7.

I think there's better odds of finding a future all-star in the 2nd round than Embiid recovering from this injury.

This.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him with the lakers.

That's my feeling.
Lebron has been very wishy-washy, with reports saying he's upset about Arison's lack of spending this past season to better defend the title. So the Cavs likely smell blood. This is their chance to show LBJ they have a team in place to contend. Irving has been promised the MAX and I think it was going to be a good sale to present Embiid as a bright prospect at the 5. Now the injury has changed all that. They need a healthy center and the best one available for sale is Favors.

I like Derrick. But as many have said, he just doesn't have any fire. He didn't show any evidence of being a defensive "stopper" and his offense is just ok. Favors + #5 is pricey for the #1, but it gets the Jazz a potential franchise player and #1 option (whether that is Wiggins or Parker). Jazz should do it. But man, if Dennis takes Wiggins and he isn't >>> Parker, Lindsey will need to enter the witness protection program.

Only Parker homers will be mad. I think the majority of Jazz fans want Wiggins over Parker.

So what did the doctor say?

It's not a good injury for him to have, could have been worse, but there's a few players that have had this injury and it never goes away.
