Joel Embiid and Paul George ruled out for Sixers-Magic, Embiid to miss eighth consecutive game

I'm so frustrated with Joel Embiid's injury timeline He was supposed to be back on the court ages ago, but now we're at 8 games without him It's like he's stuck in some kind of NBA limbo. I get that his knee is a big deal, but it's really annoying when you see your team play without their star player And what's up with the Sixers' inconsistency? One minute they say Embiid is out, next minute he's questionable... can't we just have a clear plan for once? Anyway, I hope Joel gets back to 100% soon and the team starts winning again

ugh this is so frustrating I mean i get it, injuries happen but you would think joel embiid's absence would be a bigger deal right now he was one of the key players in their playoff run last year and now he just sits on the bench? his practice sessions are definitely a good sign but like, can't we get some clarity here? is it really day-to-day or is he gonna be out for longer? i feel like they're not being super transparent about it...

I'm worried about Joel Embiid... he's been practicing like nothing's wrong, but then he's out again. I get that the team wants him to rush back, but this could lead to a bigger problem down the line . Eight games without playing? That's some serious time for a knee injury to heal on its own. Nurse is trying to keep it light, but we all know how these things can go when you're not giving it 100% . Tyrese Maxey being upgraded from probable to available is a good sign, though . Maybe this is just another step in getting Embiid back to full health ...

I feel bad for Joel Embiid, he's been through a lot with this knee injury , and I think the team should give him more time to recover instead of rushing him back into the game. All these back-and-forth changes on his status are stressing me out , can't they just make up their minds? The fact that he's still practicing but not getting cleared for games is telling us something, you know? Maybe it's a sign that this injury isn't as minor as everyone thought . Nurse's trying to be optimistic, I get that, but we need more concrete info here .

This guy Joel Embiid is killing me! I mean, I feel bad for the dude, he's been dealing with this right knee issue and can't seem to get back on the court yet . It's like, you're getting better in practice but then you gotta wait for the medical folks to give you the green light again? And now Paul George is out too... I don't know what's going on with that Sixers team . They need to figure some stuff out, 'cause this back-and-forth Embiid situation is getting old fast .
