nonsense.

if his hamstring is ok he would be in 3 v 3 again.


weight is not a reason not to practice.
windhorst is projecting.
he's so big he has to pay for 2 seats in first class.

Depends, at what point did you call Embiid an Oden?


Embiid missed 110 games in his first 4 seasons.

Zion has missed 176 games and counting in his first 4 seasons.

What is going on these past 12 hours with dudes just putting out completely incorrect "facts"

Embiid missed 164 out of 164 games in his 1st TWO seasons, how the shite are you arriving at 110 missed in 4 seasons?

Embiid missed 234 games his 1st 4 seasons, more than double what you claimed.

I only count time he has missed since he made his professional debut.

Those first two seasons do not count. The Sixers knew he was hurt when they drafted him and there was a chance he'd never play or be severely limited when he did. Counting those two seasons doesn't make any sense to me. I start when he actually started playing for them.

Anything they say about Zion with injury time, just double it and at least you'll be in the ballpark.

Well that makes no sense whatsoever.

Well Zion's season he missed doesn't count either, now do a recount for me since we're just making things up to fit a narrative.

Sure it does.

He got injured while playing and being part of the team.

It's about expectations. The Sixers did not expect Embiid to play. Then intentionally held him back so the team can keep tanking. There are no parallels to Zion, who was drafted healthy and expected to play since that time.

Generational player like LeBron turned out a generational injury bust. Not bad for $150 million in salary snd endorsements so far.
Just say you still hurt and hang out.

Still no clue when Zion is returning. My guess is he is not. Why not just tell us this!
Meanwhile Lebron no longer wearing boot.

Windhorst needs to worry about his own weight. I agree

Still arguing that while the Lakers did the same exact thing with Lebron that the Pels did with Zion

You keep referencing Windhorst saying Zion doesn't have a hamstring issue but it's his weight, but you can't seem to provide a link or anything on that, and no one in Pels media or any other national media has picked up on that?

You keep telling us Zion is coming back. No media intelligence says so yet Then you tell us everything will be okay once Zion returns.
Not the way Ingram and CJ have been playing.

1. Nice Deflection

2. I never told you Zion was coming back, so your deflection is also wrong and basically you making shite up

So, you gonna back up your assertions about what Windhorst said, or just slink away and disappear and hope everyone forgets you made that shite up?

Look in the mirror. He said it weeks ago on First Take.
Looks like you are losing the Lakers pick too. Nice job.
Just be honest with the fans and you don’t have this speculation.

All the speculation could be avoided now by just simply saying he is not coming back for whatever reasons. We actually might win some games like last year once we get that behind us.

So your assertion is that he drops what would be an absolute bombshell report and you are the ONLY one talking about it?

No other local or national media decided to talk about such a huge story, just felt it wasn't that important?


Sure thing, Jan.

Shamit Dua is right. No sense to bring him back now.

What's left unsaid in all this is a tremendous amount of pressure on Zion to come back off of a tricky injury to right the ship with such little runway.

The last thing you need is him trying to do too much or come back early and hurt himself again.
