Joel Embiid has experienced "less healing than anticipated," Sixers GM Sam Hinkie says in a statement. Says Embiid will pause training.

@ChrisMannixSI
Embiid/Sixers will "pause and reassess his current activities." Team will continue to consult current doctors but also seek other opinions.

Regardless of the language, this is a setback for Embiid, who missed all of last season. @WojYahooNBA first reported Embiid's latest issue.
They could have a really tough choice on their hands if Okafor falls to 3
9

lucky for them, they probably wont have that problem

Damn. That sucks. Hard to see him being able to play an 82 game season after he has a setback after taking a year off...

Praise Hinkie, the tank is going beautifully. Kick the can two more years down the road. Spend this year's pick on Ike Austin and they're in even better shape.

If Okafor or Towns fell to #3 you take them and figure out the assets later. It doesn't matter if Embiid is healthy.

If you read what Hinkie said it sounds more like he isn't further along then what they expected, not that he reinjured it.
If there is one franchise that isn't going to force a guy back to soon it is Philly right now

Ay man your GM hasn't made a good move since hinkie was getting donuts for morey

Less embiid playing = more embiid tweeting 
Posted on 6/13/15 at 9:20 pm to RTR America
True. Perhaps they are being super precautious.
Posted on 6/13/15 at 9:20 pm to RTR America
The Oden comparisons are pretty spot on so far.
Posted on 6/13/15 at 9:21 pm to SwaggerCopter
Yeah hopefully it just means he will miss summer league and will be ready for the start of the season

i think okafor would fit wonderfully for them even if embiid is healthy. okafor needs defensive bigs by him, adn they'd have 2
embiid and nerlins don't seem like a good pairing regardless of any other roster move

Too pro ready

Yep him and Noel would be a lot of fun.

Nerlens, embiid, and okafor on the same roster would be sweet. No idea how it would work but frick that'd be cool
Posted on 6/13/15 at 9:42 pm to rockchlkjayhku11
Hinkie would trade one of them

It'd be interesting while it lasted. Really hope Embiid can get healthy. Seems like a great guy.
In other news...
I walked out of a store at the Mall at Millenia today and standing right in front of me was Austin Rivers and his brother looking at a huge poster of Steph. I was like...well, that's different

Shades of Sam Bowie?

When I clicked on this thread I really hoped it was just him getting blanked by Rhianna on Twitter or something similar :(
