US media asked: 76ers Embiid & George s injury risk is too great. The championship is just a fantasy?
Today, the US media Essentiallysports wrote an article about the future of 76ers, believing that their injuries are too great. The following is some of the content.
What is the current situation of the Philadelphia 76ers? They might be pretending to be calm, but the truth is, fans have seen it through. Everyone thought George, Embiid and Maxi would light up the stadium. However, reality is like a horror movie full of thrillers, and that dream seems out of reach.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Even if George is added, the 76ers may not necessarily become the champion contender. Despite having a strong core lineup, including "Process" Embiid and Maxi, Embiid's injury issues are always the heaviest shadow. His absence has had a far greater impact on the team than any other factor. George's arrival did not change this situation, but instead increased the trouble. The health problems of
76 people have turned into a nightmare. Paul George's poor performance in the past playoffs indicates trouble, but the reality is even more cruel: the Big Three played only 112 games in total, with only 15 of which were three players playing at the same time. Is this the art of survival or a chapter of broken hope?

Now, as George is about to miss training camps and preseasons, the problem has become even more serious. According to previous reports, George had left knee surgery last month and will be re-evaluated before training camp. This doesn't mean he will return, it just means we may get 76ers updates about his status on Media Day. This is worrying news for George, who has played only 304 games in the past six seasons, an average of less than 51 games per season. Maybe I overreacted, but for the Sixers it would be better to assume the worst, be prepared and stay hopeful, rather than assume the best, the 35-year-old veteran had hoped to recover quickly during the offseason, but suffered a setback – a left knee arthroscopy. Confidence is shaking.
ClutchPoints' Bretts Segal had warned that Paul George could miss training camp and even the entire preseason. Philadelphia's New Hope can only sit on the bench at the moment, and no one hopes that the waiting time will be so long.
Last season, George's score dropped to 16.2 points per game, his lowest level since 2011. Despite this, he still averaged 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. The injury left him missing 41 games, which made fans wonder if the star had lost his glory too early.
At the same time, Embiid's situation has made even worse. The former MVP is still recovering from knee surgery. Despite the Sixers' attempt to remain optimistic, the NBA is full of doubts. 31-year-old Embiid is far from getting out of the predicament. The team hopes Embiid’s knee will recover, but recent rumors have been disturbing.
They picked VJ Edgecom in the draft with the third pick and signed back McCain, who performed well last year, despite his knee injury. However, total health still seems to be a fantasy, and reality seems particularly cruel as training camp and preseason approaches.
In addition to Paul George's health problems, the 76ers have more trouble. The contract negotiations with Grimes added new variables that threatened the team's financial situation. Despite rumors that Grimes might accept a lower qualification offer, Philadelphia is still struggling to balance funds and dreams, trying to maintain flexibility without losing control over a team already covered in scars. With Embiid and George's frequent injuries, is the Philadelphia 76ers' dream of winning only a fantasy?
