Podcast: Embiid’s injuries, load mgmt blunders, Shelburne’s update & trade targets

The happiness of last week’s podcast is all but gone now that Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has missed the last few games with a knee injury.

Adio Royster and David Early express frustrations with the Sixers coaching staff, training staff and/or front office (seemingly) continuing to mismanage Embiid’s minutes and games played based on his health. But don’t worry, Embiid himself catches plenty of our wrath as well if indeed recent (confusing) reports from Ramona Shelburne are true he’s tempted to push through this injury to accrue more regular-season accolades.

After an awkward landing against the Toronto Raptors, Embiid continued to play and now hasn’t been in the lineup consistently since before Christmas.
