NBA insider Keith Pompey has dropped a bombshell – he thinks Joel Embiid‘s career could be coming to an end soon. Now, before you start panicking and throwing your 76ers jersey in the trash, let’s break this down a bit.
Pompey, who’s usually pretty on point with his predictions, has raised concerns about Embiid’s injury history and how it could impact his long-term viability in the league. We all know Embiid is a force to be reckoned with on the court, but if he can’t stay healthy, what does that mean for his future?
NBA insider Keith Pompey offered a sobering perspective during an interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio. Pompey suggested that the former MVP might be preparing fans for something significant.
“I think Joel may know that the end is near, and it’s kind of like explaining to people what he’s been going through. Because rarely do you have a guy tell you how much pain and how much they’re going through. The thing I took from it was no matter who is there, the culture is the same, and I feel like Joel Embiid knows everything. that it may not be this season, but the end is near,” Pompey said.
“And maybe he feels as though he can’t play to the level he used to. I could be wrong. He could come out and have another MVP season. But that was my takeaway in questioning why you came out with this article at this particular time, when in the past you always said, I’m good,” he added.
Of course, this is all just speculation at this point, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. Stay here for more updates on this developing story.
