Yes, on the 12th in Philadelphia. Were you shocked at all by the three-game suspension? Like, when we talked about it, we were like, he's going to get suspended. He is. Be it one, two, three games, they go three. Surprised? Too severe?
Yeah, that's a good point. There was a lot of jokes flying that the punishment should be he has to play. In the next three games, you saw that as suspension, but I think this is the only second suspension of Embiid's career. He got into a, you know, a fight, whatever, not really a fight, but you know what I mean, with Karl-Anthony Towns back in 2019, and he got two games for that. They both did.

I think that's the only time Embiid's been suspended was that little dust-up there with Carl Anthony Townsend. That was great.

that's why he's not sitting or excuse me that's why he's not playing in both half of back to back but you can understand the NBA's concern with how they go about doing it like we already as is nobody gives a shit about the regular season like it's like been diluted to like it doesn't matter doesn't matter doesn't matter and the Sixers again I get you need him beat healthy come postseason but like they're like doubling down on that

Well, it doesn't really matter. So we will just tell you right now, left knee management. And we don't really know when he's going to play all that much. And we're, you know, he's not going to play the start of the season here, even though he played in the Olympics and all that. It's like, that's a little odd.

They just fined him $100,000. They were upset by it.

So you would be okay if the Sixers, if it was up to them, they would just be like, you know what, Embiid, just take the regular season off. Or come back in April and get ready for the playoff. Well, I mean, that's obviously the severe end of the spectrum, but like... If the whole plan is to have him healthy, would you be okay with that?
