Sixers GM San Hinkie held court this morning, and he did a good job of mixing some amazing news (Okafor) — with the normal depressing (Embiid).
Hinkie didn’t provide much on Embiid’s status — sticking to the script, on the big man getting a few more opinions.
“I don’t see how he’d play in summer league. [Those are] not the kind of conversations we’ve been having,” Hinkie said.
“He feels really good. It’s part of what makes this confusing for him, because he feels great,” Hinkie said. “In fact, he says ‘I can’t believe how good I feel. And I’ve felt great for a while.’
“It seems hard to believe something could be wrong,” Hinkie concluded.
Hinkie went on to say that he’s still unsure of Embiid’s prognosis, and “surgery hasn’t been ruled out either.” Don’t fret Sixers fans, the summer’s just starting.
