Joel Embiid on playoff return: I should never have come back anyway
ClutchPoints: “I should have never come back anyways, but I wanted to play… [Maxey like], ‘4th quarter. Takeover.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, you see me on the court, I can’t jump, I can’t rebound, I can’t move.'” Joel Embiid to Tyrese Maxey during the Sixers-Knicks series. pic.twitter.com/yqI5e7AQc9

Take the box score stuff out of it, last 2 tune-up games have shown why *I* wanted Embiid to play for Team USA.
Lots more screening and re-screening, looking to make extra passes more, using his attn. to set up others (LeBron, for one). This experience will benefit him greatly – 5:28 PM

More on this storyline
ClutchPoints: “I’m probably the most hated guy in the league. I don’t know why cuz, I’m just cool. I don’t know what’s there to hate about me. I feel like a lot of people can relate to my story and what I’ve been through.” Agree with Joel Embiid? (via @TheCheckBall) pic.twitter.com/LBr2mptMS9 -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 24, 2024
George said he has a similar personality as Embiid, who keeps to himself and has a smaller circle than many NBA megastars. But they began chatting at All-Star Weekends, and George eventually looked forward to seeing Embiid as they became near-annual selections. The friendship reached another level when, George said, Embiid “opened up to me.” “He said, ‘Man, regardless of what goes on, I look at you as someone that I want to be friends with for a long part of my life,’” George recalled. “And that was deep to me. We knew each other, but we didn’t know each other on that level yet. And for him to just open up to me, it felt right. … -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / July 23, 2024
“I think just taking the pressure off Joel,” George said. “I think I can kind of help him get through a season healthy. And again, it’s just not putting so much pressure on him. Regardless of how good you feel, I think pressure causes a lot of injuries as well, and you think you have to get overplayed, you have to touch every possession, that kind of just wears you down, especially for how physical he is. “So that’s the key. Everybody do their part, make sure we’re working on our bodies, and that we don’t just put that pressure on one individual to go out and win games for us.” -via ESPN / July 23, 2024
