When Joel Embiid is healthy and on the floor, he's one of the best players in the league. The problem though, is Joel Embiid has not been healthy or on the floor for nearly half of his career. Philadelphia gave Embiid a three-year, $193 million extension in September of 2024 which includes a player option for the 2028-29 season. Despite the extension, could Philadelphia look to get out of the Joel Embiid business?
While exploring other options rather than surgery, Embiid's season could be over due to lingering knee issues and Marc makes the prediction that he's played his final game with the 76ers.
If Embiid is indeed done in Philadelphia, what would his market be? Could a team like the Miami Heat be in play for the former MVP? Marc makes the case.
