76ers absolutely screwed themselves with Joel Embiid extension

The Philadelphia Sixers will have a Joel Embiid dilemma as long as he's still on the team. That's what happens when your best player is injury-prone. Long story short — the decision to extend Embiid last year continues to make no sense.

The goal is to get Embiid back to a place where he can be the top player in the league on a nightly basis (with off nights), but fans worry that may never happen again. He played 19 games last season, missing significant time due to a knee injury that required surgery in April.
