Joel Embiid 'hated' idea of NBA's bubble league: 'I don't think it's going to be safe'

Joel Embiid thinks the NBA’s Disney World bubble is a bad idea.

He’s showing up anyway.

The Philadelphia 76ers center expressed candid concerns about the league’s scheduled restart in late July with reporters on Tuesday. But he’s not letting them keep him away from Disney World.

‘I hated the idea’

Joel Embiid on concerns going into Orlando:

“I’m not a big fan of the idea. But then again, I’m going to do my job. I’m not going to let the city down. I’m going to represent my city, my family, my teammates - that’s what I’ve always done.
