The Joel Embiid status update you have all been waiting for

I can’t believe it. The day has finally come that we’ve received some clarity or literally any information at all on the health of Joel Embiid.

Unfortunately, it’s very vague and more of the same. But, on the bright side, it seems the Sixers and Nick Nurse who was the information relayer here; hasn’t ruled him out of being available for Sixers training camp.

He’s working very hard and things look good. I mean is that just false optimism? It’s hard to really say. Obviously the team is doing everything they can to ensure he’s healthy and we get the the best Joel Embiid we can possible get. At least we hope right?

Knowing this team and franchise, that is a lot to hope for. But, call me crazy, I will take this news right now. It beats that dark and discouraging report we got on Joel earlier this month.

With that said, I certainly understand any fans that are totally checked out on this team and Embiid more specifically. To those people I’d encourage you to just enjoy the rest of this Phillies season and lock in for the Birds as they try to go to back-to-back Super Bowls.

And who knows, in a few months, maybe things are looking much better on the Joel Embiid front. Trust The freakin Process ya’ll.
