Embiid's test results came back, and according to the MRI results, Embiid suffered a meniscus injury on the outside of his left knee. The ** plan has not yet been decided, but it is certain that Embiid's two consecutive MVPs are really gone.
Embiid is destined to play 65 games in the regular season this season, and this result shows how unworthy of his previous injury against the Warriors. In that game, it was obvious from the beginning that he had a knee injury and barely went into the penalty area.
After three quarters, Embiid played 20 minutes. The new collective bargaining agreement stipulates that the prize conditions for a single-season regular season are at least 20 minutes in addition to 65 games. I thought that Embiid would be out of action after the third quarter, and the 76ers had no hope of winning this game. Unexpectedly, Embiid still came up to play in the last quarter. As a result, Kuminga hit the left knee in a scrum and then withdrew from the game, which looked like things were not going to be good at the time. After the game, Nurse said that Embiid's injury this time had nothing to do with his previous injury that missed consecutive games between the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers.
So, this time Embiid is an old injury that has not healed, and a new one has been added. Moreover, meniscus injury is Embiid's ** disease. In this way, it is certain that Embiid did have an injury in the previous game against the Nuggets, and he should have felt unwell during the pre-game warm-up. The NBA's investigation also illustrates the situation, but the 76ers were fined $75,000 for not putting Embiid on the team's injury list before the game. Therefore, in the game against the Warriors, Embiid also fought with injuries. The question is, why didn't the team doctor put Embiid out for this game? Whether it was a misdiagnosis by the team doctor or Embiid's own desire to play, no one knows.
One more point, How did Embiid get hurt? This time, the objective factor must be Kuminga's pressure injury. But in reality, on a deeper level, Embiid has too many injury factors. Embiid is somewhat similar to Durant, the kind of player who is more vocal in the world of accidents. He knows how strong the power is in the current era, and Embiid is also good at using the power of the **. Last year was one of the scenes, such as the sentence "Someone took the MVP, but still didn't achieve anything". Before the game against the Nuggets, Embiid himself may have wanted to play. But because of the discomfort, the advice of the team doctor, and Embiid's own lack of wanting to play this key game with an injury, he stopped playing.
But after the game, we also know. In the first half of the season, everything Embiid played by virtue of his strength disappeared, and he once again became the 'soft egg' who dared not respond to the mouth of the ** and the fans, and the 70 points that set a record a few days ago were also forgotten. In the first half of the season, Embiid was indeed qualified for two consecutive MVPs, various explosive statistics, and a good record of the 76ers. And these are also the reasons why he stands at the top. In addition, the 65-game rule is the core factor for Embiid to play with an injury. In the first half of the season, Embiid was in a state of stop-and-go, and before the game against the Warriors, he could miss another five games, which was quite dangerous.
Haliburton was furious about the 65-game rule because it would cost him tens of millions of dollars. Embiid has no financial troubles, but two consecutive MVPs are not bad for any player. An MVP is good, but a pair is clearly even better. But Embiid's knee can't support him to play 65 games. So far in his career, Embiid has only played 68 games in a season at most. What's more, in the first half of this season, Embiid continued to output at a high level. The scoring efficiency per minute is the first in history, and the efficiency value is also the first in history, and Embiid in the first half of the game really played a supernatural performance.
But at this point, Embiid should also understand that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. The 65 regular season games are a huge drain on him, and the playoffs are reasonable. Therefore, since you can't win two consecutive MVPs, it's better to focus on the playoffs or even the finals, and the championship is more important.
