Daily News | The Sixers have no shot without Joel Embiid. The real question is, how much of him do they need?
Everyone has a different sense of when spring has sprung. Some count the hours of sunshine, others count the blossoms on the trees, others count the number of days it has been since Joel Embiid suffered a work-related injury. Whatever your measure, the equinox is officially here.
It’s unfortunate; it’s frustrating; it’s borderline depressing. For a lot of people, it’s all of those things. Rivers spent a lot of his time on Tuesday insisting that he isn’t one of those people. Hard as that may be to believe, you don’t spend three decades in the NBA without becoming something of a pragmatist. Rivers knows more than anybody the extent to which Embiid’s injury history lingers over the team even during the good times.
That doesn’t even factor in Embiid’s other-worldly impact on the defensive end, where his presence in the paint and at the rim is almost comically singular.
