Embiid s injury recovery is worrying, and the future of the 76ers has become extremely unclear?

ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel talked about the recovery of a knee injury to Philadelphia 76ers' inside core Joel Embiid. Siegel wrote: Although Philadelphia remains optimistic about the All-Star center's recovery and they expect him to return to the MVP season in the future, everyone else in the league seems to have a different view from the Sixers. Many have compared Embiid’s knee problems with Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers. Leonard has missed numerous games for knee reasons over the past few years, and because of this problem, he hasn't even been ready to play in the opening stages of several seasons.

Siegel continued: According to a medical staff member of an NBA team, it is definitely not a good sign when you have a second surgery to try to solve the initial problem and then continue to deal with delays in recovery time and more complications. Based on previous experience, few players can return to the field with full blood after multiple surgeries and injuries in the same part, and this is what Joel Embiid is trying to do. Specifically, his injury history and his knee problems began when he first entered the league. Even so, it is already a very amazing thing for him to reach this level in his career so far.

In the NBA regular season last season, due to injuries, Embiid only played 19 times in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 3.3 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 88.2%. Embiid's data looks pretty good, but in fact it cannot stand scrutiny. His performance has declined sharply compared to previous seasons. His shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have dropped to the lowest point of his career, which also shows that his performance on the court is very struggling, and his threat on the offensive end is also much worse than before.

The most important thing is that no one knows how Embiid's current injury is. His condition was no longer ideal last season. His dominance on both offense and defense is no longer as good as before, and the continuous injuries will further worsen the situation. For the 76ers, Embiid's condition will undoubtedly determine the team's future competitiveness. If his performance after his comeback can only reach the level of last season at most, and may even decline further, then the future situation of the Sixers is really worrying.
