Patrick Beverly hasn’t been shy in regards to sharing details about his time with the Sixers.

This time around, though, it feels like he’s dropping some insightful information on what’s really going on within the Sixers organization. In one of the most recent editions of ThePat Bev Podcast with Rone, he dove into what happened leading up to Joel Embiid ultimately sitting out of their game in Denver, as well as details on his knee injury.

First of all, I’ll address Richard Jefferson in this clip, I think I speak for everyone here; no one cares about your basketball opinions. This dude only has a platform because he played in the NBA. He’s sitting here just voicing a stupid talking point that dorks on Twitter have been making and that is that Joel Embiid has been “ducking” playing Nikola Jokic in Denver. Luckily, Beverly quickly shut down that nonsense.

“I’m witnessing people spray numbing spray on this man’s knee during the game. I’m like what the fuck is that? Shit I’ve never seen before. Just to get through the third quarter. People don’t understand he was giving M’Fers 30 and 40 in three quarters because that’s all he had.”

Patrick Beverly an NBA player who’s never seen this spray that the staff is using on Embiid’s knee before? That’s not even the worst part of this clip either. The fact that everyone knew within the Sixers that Embiid couldn’t last full games is wild. They waited all this time to get treatment on a knee that’s been an issue for quite some time.

Joel Embiid’s knee is numb? Well, my brain is numb from this last decade of Sixers basketball.
