@MTired61 @SixersAdam @sixers When given the info in real time, that can happen. It’s why the team should be careful how they word things.

@ddaniels2d @SixersAdam @sixers You basically accused him of quitting on the team. You are the one in the wrong here.

The Sixers just ruled Joel Embiid OUT for tonight’s game against the Rockets. He has an illness.

@davidlichtenst9 @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers You have no knowledge of me, but speak in terms like u do. I can be critical of this FO all I want, as a lifelong fan, I’ve witnessed how terrible they are…especially THIS year. While u want to focus on illness and Embiid, my entire point has been about the FO. Do better…Darryl

@ddaniels2d @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers You speak without any inside knowledge of timelines to clinical presentation or medical evaluation. You are the typical individual that finds negativity in anything and everything. The poor man has appendicitis and couldn’t play tonight. End of story and nothing to be critical.

According to a team spokesperson, Joel Embiid woke up to intense stomach pain. He went to get checked out and it was determined that he had appendicitis. He is currently in surgery…..the pain was intense enough that he was immediately ruled out for tonight

@StBasil215 Seems like he’s been dead tired for a while now.

How does Maxey come out for a game of this magnitude like this 🤦🏾‍♂️

@davidlichtenst9 @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers The point is transparency. Illness sounds like something he could have played thru like he just did in Miami. Needing a surgery and announcing it first keeps the fans from thinking something else was going on w Jo and the FO. Don’t show ur sports psychology ignorance sir.

@ddaniels2d @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers Don’t show your medical ignorance. The illness is appendicitis and the treatment is surgical and antibiotics.

@davidlichtenst9 @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers A surgery is not an illness sir. 2 different things. Timeline suggest they knew he would need surgery before deeming him out for the game.

@ddaniels2d @Tjonesonthenba @NBAKrell @sixers Appendicitis is an illness and the physicians would not have known the cause of his abdominal pain until they had imaging results that likely included an appendiceal ultrasound and/or abdominal-pelvic CT scan. There is nothing unusual about his timeline for diagnosis.

@SportsRadioWIP Like McKee doesn’t exist

Joe Giglio believes the Eagles should focus on QB in the draft and prepare for life after Jalen Hurts. Hugh Douglas disagrees: "We've got a lot of other positions that we've got to figure out...I don't think that's smart."

Find Lalo or Tequila Ocho for a good additive free tequila. For great, find Fortaleza or Cazcanes. Thank me later.

@MTired61 @SixersAdam Already posted that the @Sixers can’t say the man is sick when he needs surgery. 2 different things. Check my timeline sir.

@ddaniels2d @SixersAdam He had emergency surgery to remove his appendix this afternoon. Now, you going to apologize to him for your clueless comment?

@ShamsCharania Unreal that the @Sixers described it as a sickness first and had the entire fanbase turning on Jo. Take the time to figure out what’s really wrong @dmorey. Prayers up for a quick recovery to @JoelEmbiid. Season is over, but him being healthy for his family is more important

76ers star Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will undergo surgery this afternoon in Houston.

@SixersAdam If Joel ever plays in the NBA after this season, it will probably be in LA w Luka and they will probably surround them w a cast good enough to win a ring. The most predictable Philly outcome ever.

Guess Maxey is the one I should have been complaining about since he didn’t come to compete against Castle, Fox and Harper at all. Too many soft hearts on my @Sixers. The culture screams GET BULLIED. WE NEED SOME DAWGS @dmorey

@Ky_Carlin He’s being a soft bitch right now.

Joel Embiid doesn't look like he's moving well at all. He's 0-3 from the floor and 0-2 from deep. He didn't look good heading into that timeout. Spurs and Philly tied at 11. #Sixers

Love @JoelEmbiid but he needs to man up when the squad needs him. Bowing out of this game vs Wemby when we need all hands on deck for these last 4 games would be ridiculous. At some point pride should kick in and he should want to compete @Sixers

@dom_lucre Barely used to get up that part of Stone Mountain alone…carrying someone as thick as her is real strength 💪🏾

🔥🚨VIRAL NOW: This man left everyone in awe as he carried this woman up this massive slope with relative ease.

@Tuff__Crowd Yeah. You don’t know ball

Tmac & Vince Carter not even better than DeMar & PG

@MustangMedicX Yep. Do a hundred things in order….need u to remember it in order right after rolling a frickin car and crawling out the window….but I get to read what I’m asking u to remember 🧐

Tiger Woods got a raw deal. Could you pass this test? The Officer couldn’t remember the questions that she was asking Tiger. I don’t think many could remember all four questions while NOT under the influence.

@ShamsCharania Keep the rule. Zero exceptions. Y’all whined about Embiid. Suffer in silence.

@ShamsCharania Sorry Bub, rules are rules.

Statement from Luka Doncic’s agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball: "This season, Luka Dončić has performed at a historic level, leading the league in scoring, carrying the Lakers to third place in the Western Conference and placing himself in the middle of one of the most tightly contested MVP races in memory. To ensure that Luka’s incredible accomplishments this season are rightly honored and he can be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards, we intend to apply for an “Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge” to the 65-game rule. Luka missed two games this season for the birth of his second child in Slovenia. His daughter was born on Dec. 4 on another continent, and yet he was back in the United States competing with his team on Dec. 6. Luka has gone to great lengths to show up for his team and this league this season. His record-breaking season deserves to be noted in the history books, despite last night’s unfortunate injury and other extraordinary circumstances. We look forward to working with the NBAPA and the league office to ensure a fair outcome in this matter."
