As the Philadelphia 76ers look to move forward amid a 9-game losing skid and a 20-38 record on the season, all eyes are on the status of Joel Embiid. The big fella is dealing with a bothersome left knee that has been an issue since the 2023-24 season and there are questions of whether his season might be done.

76ers coach Nick Nurse attributed the decision to keep Embiid on the bench for the final quarter so that they wouldn't disrupt the the team's rhythm. “That group was just playing so well together and had good feel for the game at that point, and just wanted to let them roll with it," Nurse told reporters.

Nick Nurse admitted that Joel Embiid is not at 100 percent physically right now. How long until the Philadelphia 76ers admit defeat and pull the plug?
