Joel Embiid believes he will be ready for the Olympics
The Philadelphia 76ers center, who missed more than half of the regular season and then was hobbled in the playoffs because of a knee injury, said in a televised interview that his recovery is going well and he believes he’ll be ready to play for the U.S. at the Paris Games starting next month. “I’m doing great. Just getting ready for the Olympics,” Embiid said in an appearance on ABC’s pregame show before Game 4 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics. “It’s going to be big for me because I’ve been dreaming about it since I was a kid.”

Joel Embiid (next to Paul George, to Stephen A):
“I’m the MVP… I just got to get a little bit of luck. Stay healthy. And I know everything else is going to take care of itself.”

I’m sure Paul George and Joel Embiid on set together is going to go over cool
Paul George: “This is my first Finals appearance, and I hate that it had to come in this fashion. Watching from the sideline, it don’t feel good”
Joel Embiid: “I want to be here, I want to win so bad” – 8:21 PM

Taking a step back from the rumor mill to discuss hypotheticals, specifically which skill sets and traits would fit in best as a 3rd star next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey?

Michael Scotto: Joel Embiid on the Celtics and recruiting free agents to the Sixers: “I can’t stand them. I hate Boston. Great city. Great fans. They’ve got some great players. Hopefully, this offseason, we find a way to get better and add some pieces (looks at Paul George next to him).” 😂 -via x.com / June 15, 2024
