Sixers Sought Extra Medical Opinions On Joel Embiid Before Three Year $192M Extension - RealGM Wiretap
The Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid sought out approximately six medical opinions before they signed a three-year, $192 million extension in September, sources tell ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. All of those consulted believed Embiid's knee could be managed by a combination of strategic rest and procedures to promote healing.
Embiid and the Sixers hoped his knee would be healthy enough to play to start the season. They anticipated him needing more time to work his way into shape after the Olympics, but it became clear over time his knee wasn't right. Embiid has not played with the same force since his return and is averaging just 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31.4 minutes over his first four games. Embiid averaged more than one point per minute last season. Embiid's PER has dropped from 33.4 last season to 16.4 this season.
