One of the things Philadelphia Sixers fans don't want to think about is too hard to ignore — whether Joel Embiid will ever consistently be able to play at a high level again. He played in a combined 58 games the past two seasons due to injuries. Embiid most recently underwent knee surgery last April, his second in 14 months.
There is some optimism about the upcoming season, such as watching rookie V.J. Edgecombe, but when it comes to Embiid (and Paul George), it's hard to feel hopeful. The Sixers' social media team is trying to generate some excitement by posting photos and videos of players working out, with the Embiid video generating the most chatter.
