Just in the interests of truth, what evidence is there that Embiid could have played last year?  They didn't even let him play in summer league.  And what's this nonsense about Philly caring about Embiid's long term health, as though every team doesn't have the same exact concern for its players?

Mike
he felt no pain, was dominating people in practice, and dunking without issue.  In another era, embiid plays last year.   They did a scan and didn't see the level of healing they wanted around the bone.   He had his original surgery before he was drafted.  Articles have been written about this... They determined the best thing for his long term success would be a bone graft.  We have seen success with bone grafts recently - Kevin durant for instance.  IF Embiid makes it through this season (which is a big if) the level of concern for his health should be comparable with durant.  This is true whether you people want to agree with me or not.  Last year people were worried durant might not make it through the whole season.  He made it and now people barely bring it up.  Would be a similar situation with embiid if he played a healthy season injury free.
That's mostly reaching. Practice doesn't equal actual games just ask Derrick Rose.

Actually, his post is entirely horsepoo. It's fictitious. Entirely made up. And entirely incorrect.

Embiid was NEVER cleared for full scrimmage practice last year. He just started 2 on 2 drills this May. So rumors of him "dominating people in practices that he sat on the bench during practicles last year is just categorically false. It's just another case of Lar tying to invent facts to support a multi-year running narrative that Lar's had that the 76ers rebuilding method is more effective than the Celtics' method.

Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

And just in case anyone is coming in late, the last time Embiid's health came, Lar was totally, completely and utterly wrong.  And not just wrong but wrong when literally everyone else was right.

Larbrd is right. Embiid has no health issues at this time

Then why didn't he play in summer league?  Not even on a minutes limitation?

Probably for the obvious reason.  Would ruin his trade value.

Don't you know that a person that's on a minutes restriction is considered 100% healthy?

The dunking without issue is pretty funny also because he can probably dunk without jumping.

Even if this is true, he is still extremely injury prone and in no way should be considered to be as durable as Durant going forward.  That was where his posts became ridiculous.

Kinda like how Yao Ming had no health issues whenever he said he was healthy

larbrd never said that.  Larbrd said that if embiid makes it through a full season without issue, the level of concern about his future would be comparable to durant right now.  larbrd also educated you on the reality that embiid would have played last season in another era.  They wanted to be extra careful and avoid a potential oden situation.

also, larbrd wasn't "completed totally wrong" about embiid last time. When info came out, it essentially vindicated larbrd and proved that his interpretation of Embiid's situation was far more right than anyone on this forum.  Larbrd ate a bunch of unwarranted crow, but upon learning his hunches were accurate, larbrd spewed said crow out for the rest of the ninnies to slurp up back up.

I've yet to see anyone on this forum accurately explain what happened with embiid last season. If you started a poll, my guess 95% would say embiid reinjured himself last summer and needed a second surgery.  That's not at all what happened. Read about it.

Please supply the evidence from unbiased sources that back up what you are saying.  And by unbiased source, I mean something more than a post on Liberty Ballers that quotes a Sixer player about how awesome Embiid is doing.

We said he was hurt.  You said he wasn't.  We were right.  You were wrong.

Research it yourself.  Extensive articles have been written with interviews with his doctor that performed the bone graft and why the decision was made to do it in spite of the fact embiid believed he was 100%, felt no pain, and was dominating everyone in practices.

That's actually the one reason for concern when embiid says he's 100% right now ... He thought he was fine last year too and they were not comfortable letting him risk reinjury without a bone graft procedure.
