    Joel Embiid's physical with the Cavs didn't go well, and raised plenty of "red flags" ESPN reports he's out of the race for the #1 pick.
    12:00 PM - 13 Jun 2014


    That's more than enough for me to forget that he even exists - if true.

    Otoh - Chris Sheridan said his physical went fine.

    Didn't Chris Sheridan give a first place vote to Harden for his Defense?

    Joel Embiid, considered the front-runner to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, has suffered a foot injury, his mentor confirmed to ESPN.com. Luc Mbah a Moute, who is overseas, was not certain as to the extent of the injury. It also is unclear as to which foot was injured. "I just heard he got hurt," Mbah a Moute said. ESPN.com

    I can see it now. He falls to the L*kers, who sit him for the year, let Kobe's contract run out, tank, get another lotto pick and unlimited money to sign Durant + ??? to build a superteam.

    He will fall in the draft and a team like San Antonio will take a chance on him.

    he will fall but nowhere near SA. He won't drop out of the top 10, heck id be shocked if he fell past 5.

    Isn't he the next Greg Oden? It'd be funny if they drafted him then.

    Joel Embiid has suffered a stress fracture in the navicular bone in his right foot, Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski has confirmed.

    Embiid will not attend next week's draft in New York.

    Embiid had already been dealing with health concerns regarding his back.

    Embiid averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this past season as a freshman at Kansas.

    I love (not) how the media works these days. There is a rumor that Embiid hurt his foot. The media calls an acquaintance, who is overseas and is no where near the situation at the moment. The acquaintance heard the same rumor. The acquaintance confirms that he heard the rumor, which is reported as "confirmation" that the foot injury did in fact occur. Is that about right?

    I'm not doubting that the guy hurt his foot, just amused at how the 'media' works.

    big difference in breaking a foot if your a gaurd then when your a big man. Foot and Back problems are the bane of bigmen and now he has had issues with both.
