Last night I had a dream that I was watching a youtube clip of embiid doing a full court drill during practice. So not even in my dreams is he playing in a real game...
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Embiid update
Injured center Joel Embiid did some standstill shooting and low-key drills after practice without the protective boot he's been wearing since his second season-ending right foot surgery.
The 7-2 Embiid looked good, physically, and showed off his unusually smooth jump shot for a big man while smiling and joking with teammates.
Embiid also played a game of H-O-R-S-E with Landry, exclaiming "Game time!" when Landry missed a 14-footer to clinch his victory.

Embiid gave Landry a presentation about Embiid Life

still top 10?
Most people can't name 10 Philly current athletes. Top 10 is a lock.
I remember doing this 5 years or so ago and there were so many, now I'd have Giroux at one but am looking at first year guys and prospects before getting near 10

I seriously wonder if Colangelo's involvement now means it's more likely that if Embiid is cleared in the spring that we see him on the court this year

no I'm sure they're gonna listen to the doctors and team familiar with this who have been handling his progress for 2 years and stay on that path. I cant see Sam Josh and Jerry duking it out in March over playing him the final 10 games.
btw, need a nickname for the new front office.

I can't invest emotionally in this situation.

Posted this in the Sixers thread, but I'm putting it here too. I considered posting it in every thread ever.

Do you think they do drug testing for guys who are injured? Like if Embiid was doing HGH, would the league even figure it out? If they did, would they suspend him from games he's scheduled to miss anyway?

I'm not accusing him. Just wondering if he could do it without repercussions if he wanted to.
