On today’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan start by celebrating Joel Embiid’s 4-year, $196 million supermax contract extension with the Sixers. They also discuss the Sixers’ 2021/2022 schedule, the reported layoffs with Sixers staff, Grant Riller’s arrival, and bid farewell (for now) to their Damian Lillard hopes.
Then! Steve and Emily are joined by Tanking to the Top author and journalist for Fox Sports Yaron Weitzman. Yaron has written two especially revealing articles detailing Ben Simmons’ relationship with the Sixers, and the Gastro Gang wanted to discuss them in greater detail with the writer, himself.
