If nothing else, Embiid will opt for surgery and then be reimbursed for the season.
His absence not only disrupted the 76ers' plan to hit the NBA championship this year, but also affected Maxey's dream of getting the highest salary.
Embiid has missed four games due to injury, and under Maxey's single-core team, he only won 1 and lost 3, and the 76ers fell from fourth to fifth in the East.
The Pacers, who are behind the 76ers, are eyeing the team, and it looks like the team could fall to sixth!
Hey, Embiid's performance this season is more energetic than last season, pouting and shooting, averaging 35 per game3 points 113 rebounds and 57 assists 18 caps 11 steal.
If he doesn't miss the injury, Embiid has a good chance of getting a second regular-season MVP.
Under Embiid's strong containment, Maxey benefited the most, ushering in a full-scale outburst, averaging 25 per game this season6 points 63 assists 35 rebounds, the overall data ratio has improved, especially the score has increased by 53 points.
This rhythm continued until the end of the regular season, and Maxey's contract extension this summer was a proper 5-year 2500 million top salary!
After all, their rookies, Edwards, Ball, Haliburton, and Bane, all signed contracts with the team with a maximum salary in advance.
But Embiid is gone, Maxi is difficult to support alone, and after the opponent double-packs, he also exposes his shortcomings.
Except for the first game of the recent comeback, after slashing 51 points, the next losses to the Nets, Mavericks and Warriors were unsatisfactory, scoring 23 points, 15 points and 13 points respectively, and the shooting rate was less than 40%!
In the face of the strong defense on the opposite side, he has a single effective offensive means, more of a three-point shot from the outside, and once he has a bad hand, he can't help the team lose.
Maxi is not the absolute core of the team. As a result, he can't get a max salary contract like Edwards.
Recently, the 76ers gave Maxey 4 years 1The renewal contract of 700 million was rejected by him, and he preferred to get 5 years and 2A maximum salary of 600 million.
Now, without the blessing of Embiid's aura, he found that he still had to cultivate again.
The 76ers are expected to take this opportunity to knock down Maxey, 4 years 1700 million, sign it quickly
