Joel Embiid Now Weighs 300 Pounds, 76ers Concerned With His Work Ethic

But even with what he said, I would still be super concerned as a Sixer's fan. Embiid might not be as lazy as the initial report, but he is still not doing what is necessary to get his body right. He is fighting an uphill battle to ever be able extended stretches of games, so this is not a good sign.

...eating himself into almost "enormous?"

I'm not concerned.

This looks to me like overexaggerated misinformation from inside the Sixers. They haven't been able to motivate Embiid to do the workload they ask him to do. Now they try to let him experience fan feedback.
Of course they have his back and correct it to 275 one day later, which is still Drummond heavy, but not Traylor heavy.

You're kidding me with this line right? I understand that motivation plays a part but Embiid is a big boy being paid a couple million now. Not to mention that the 76ers are his employer and they are asking him to work related workouts.

Embiid should feel negative fan reaction if this is true. Welcome to the real world.

Psh, that's nothing. Hell I weigh more than that.

Is it just me or does Porzingas sound like a fat kids name?
