I don’t think they’ve ever out and out announced his drop foot diagnosis but the way he runs definitely reminds me of how I ran when I had a chunk of loose cartilage stuck in the nerves in the back of my knee and had drop foot and his long history of bad leg injuries including the one that caused him to miss most of the year certainly isn’t dissuading me from armchair diagnosing it.
High school football my junior year (long story short it was a minor version of the C-Webb injury except where his cartilage just poofed and exploded, mine just chipped a chunk right into the nerves and muscles at the back of my knee). Spent all summer of my senior year rehabbing it only to get ANOTHER injury (MCL sprain) but the collision happened to somehow dislodge the cartilage from the danger zones in my knee so now it’s just been benignly floating around behind my kneecap for the last decade plus lol.
Needless to say, I can relate to the Harry Gileses and Embiids of the world haha

I tore my meniscus playing softball on fake grass about 10 years ago and it took 2-3 years for me to fully recover from that injury. There was a point in time at which I didn't think I would ever fully recover. Granted I did not get surgery so my recovery time was going to be longer than a surgical repair regardless but my understanding is that a surgical repair is worse for your long-term knee health. And a second surgical repair on the same knee followed by an accelerated recovery period is obviously much worse. Especially for a massive 280 pound human like Joel Embiid. It's not like the Sixers are set up to win a championship this year anyway and they have more cap space than any other team in the league opening up this summer. The most prudent course of action for both Embiid and the Sixers would be to let him rest and recover so that he doesn't shorten his playing career or suffer a catastrophic injury and just start planning for next season.
Pacers are lucky they played Milwaukee with their superstar out and their other top 2 players Out or hobbled.
Giannis is lucky he won the one title. He is constantly injured and never mans up to play in playoff games when injured. Dude has continually left his team out to fend for themselves in the playoffs.
Could you imagine Magic, Bird, Shaq or Kobe sitting out a playoff elimination game? Like Shaq said, rub some Icy hot on them knees and get back out on the court!
