The Philadelphia 76ers can’t trust Joel Embiid to stay healthy, but he is sucking fans back in by looking slim and ready as training camp approaches. Fans know Embiid is one of the best players in the world at his peak. He won MVP in 2023, but has played just 58 regular-season games since. Some are starting to believe this is the year again, but at some point, you are Charlie Brown and Embiid’s health is the infamous football.
Fans can’t realistically expect the 31-year-old to play more than 50 games. He will get hurt and miss time.
