This is why they got fined recently. It wasn’t for load management comments—they got fined because their public statements didn’t align with reality. The league dug into Joel’s medical records and concluded his left knee situation was legitimate and serious. The Sixers, however, publicly claimed he was healthy and ready to go, implying it was just load management. That doesn’t sit well with the NBA’s TV partners. It creates confusion, and while I can’t pinpoint the medical term for Joel’s issue, it seems real and concerning. He was fully participating in Team USA activities during the Olympics, so something happened between then and now. It’s clear that his movement isn’t right, and it feels like we’re heading toward an inevitable shutdown procedure for a bigger injury.” -via YouTube / November 26, 2024 “Maybe it’s something physically that we don’t know, maybe it’s something going on that we don’t know that the team doctors in Philly know,” Mourning said. “To tell you the truth, I’m a little biased, and you are as well. We played back-to-backs. We do what we got to do to help our team, it’s as simple as that.” -via Clutch Points / November 25, 2024 The two Hall-of-Famers engaged in a back-and-forth discussion on The Big Podcast about Embiid and his inability to play back-to-back games. “I’m an executive so I can’t just be bashing these players,” Mourning said. “But I have a biased opinion. We played in an area where we played a whole lot of back-to-backs. We were hurting. “It was more physical, so I don’t know why you’re not playing back-to-backs,” O’Neal said. “That’s the only problem I have with it. You shoot a heavy amount of jumpers, you don’t get banged up a lot in the post. Why are you not playing back-to-backs? -via Clutch Points / November 25, 2024

As a sports enthusiast from the United States, my passion for sports goes beyond mere entertainment—it is a way of life. I am particularly drawn to the "Big Five" European football leagues: the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.
