76ers and NBA fans react to Joel Embiid injury update

“Wow. Huge blow but hopefully it stops the on-again, off-again injury stuff and he can be right moving forward. Prayers up he can make it back for the playoffs,” voiced out @NBA_University.

“Went from Embiid getting b2b MVPs to Maxey being our #1 option and the 7th seed in a week,” said @NormaITweeter.

From @CP3_777: “Obviously having Joel Embiid miss extended time will suck, but having the corrective surgery is the right move. The cumulative effect of all his injuries has caused him to overcompensate which can in turn lead to more injuries. Surgery & rehab may be the best way to reset himself”
