Sixer's statement quoted in article

"As part of the conservative approach focused on the long-term health, recovery and care of Joel, we have been closely monitoring his progress, regularly evaluating his status and adjusting our plans accordingly.

"Recently, Joel and Sixers personnel traveled to Los Angeles for a series of routine exams with a number of physicians who have been actively involved throughout this process. During his visit with Dr. Richard Ferkel, a standard CT scan on Joel's right foot revealed less healing than anticipated at this point.

"Our priority remains providing Joel with every opportunity to ensure he has a long and successful NBA career, and as such, these findings cause us to pause and reassess his current activities. Together with Joel and his representatives, we will continue to consult with the experienced team of doctors who have been an integral part of his evaluations, while also engaging in dialogue with a broader set of experts and specialists.

"Discussions regarding the appropriate next steps are currently ongoing and we will share an update once it becomes available."

Unfortunately, might be Greg Oden in the making...

Translation: Stay far away from this guy.

Love to hear the Philly fans now make a prediction as to how great that team will be in 2018 with a center who has back and foot problems.

Just for fun, I wonder if the Sixers would make this deal with the Celts

Smart, Sully and our 2016 Brooklyn pick
for Embiid and the 3rd pick.

Sixers get a PF to put next to Noel and a NBA ready PG in Smart.

Celts get to draft either Russell, Porzingis, Mudiay, Winslow, Johnson or Turner.

Wow. Greg Oden flashbacks. I never liked this kid, way too cocky and seemed happy to just be drafted.

Honestly, if we draft Robert Upshaw IMO he will have a better career. Can't wait for 1-2 more years of drafting. I imagine we will have a dynasty team.

Young core of:

Marcus Smart- better offense,lose bf%, more explosive
James Young- Klay Thompson
Brandon Ingram- better 3pt shooting Greak Freak and quicker with better handles
Myles Turner
Robert Upshaw

Plus anyone we sign / draft that comes out of nowhere

Very sad news. I feel bad for Embiid.  :(
