I'm really bummed that Joel Embiid is out again . It feels like he was just getting back into his groove after coming back from those playoffs with a broken foot last year... I remember watching him dominate on the court and thinking, "Man, this guy's unstoppable!" 
Now, it seems like every time he tries to play, something happens and he's out for another game. It's like déjà vu all over again 
. The Sixers need him back ASAP so they can take down those Nets!

I'm kinda surprised Embiid is getting benched again... I mean, he's been practicing full sessions and all, but it's like the team's being super cautious about his injury. Can't blame them, but at the same time, it feels like they're putting the team's chances in jeopardy by sitting out one of their top players. 
Paul George being questionable too is a bit annoying... if he's been cleared to practice without issues, why hold him back now? 
I'm really shocked that Joel Embiid is sitting out again 
... but at the same time, I kinda expected it, you know? Like, the team said he was day-to-day, so I shouldn't have been surprised when this happened 
... wait, no, that's not true! If they were being cautious, then I should be on board with their decision 
... except, what if Embiid was actually feeling better than everyone thought? Maybe he just needed a rest and now he'll come back stronger ... but nope, that can't be right either 
. Ugh, I hate when my mind is all like this !

Ugh, I hate when my mind is all like this !omg, i cant even believe embiid is having issues again he was supposed to be back but now its looking like another 9 games on the bench? what a bummer for the sixers fans 
his knee issue has been a problem since nov 11th and now theyre holding him out of friday nights game against the nets 
meanwhile paul george is questionable which sucks bc he was doing great in practice adem bonas ankle sprain injury is looking like it will be back from friday tho edgecombe is still out with calf tightness 
gotta keep an eye on those other nets players too

I was like, totally thinking that Embiid would make it back sooner, but now I'm not so sure... 
The team's being cautious and all, which is probably a good idea, but still... Embiid's been playing through pain for ages, you feel? 
Like, what's gonna be the real reason he sits out this time? And Paul George, too? I mean, I'm rooting for him to come back, but if his ankle's still giving him issues... Maybe they should've held him out from the start, you know? On the other hand, Adem Bona seems like he's getting close to coming back, so that's a good sign! 
And Edgecombe, yeah, I hope he recovers soon, that guy's got skills...
