I'm not really an Embiid fan. But I think he's in the camp with Kawhi of guys that have such a long track record of injury-proneness that I give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to load management type stuff. I don't think him saying that he might not play a back-to-back again should be scandalous.
I think the league ought to clarify what their redline issues are and what the consequences are. Otherwise, I think players have a right to health and teams have a right to being strategic (e.g, rest Embiid in the regular season for playoff availability)
I'm not saying he shouldn't do whatever for his health. But he opened his big mouth and said it out loud which goes against league's policy. That's just NOT SMART. That's the big mouth part. Dude just doesn't think that deeply. When I say deeply, I meant a little. not that deep.
Fair enough. I don't disagree with your point, and I didn't know he broke an actual policy. I just think the status quo is dumb. But I also might not know enough about the League's current policies, etc 😅
Oh he knows! It was a huge new change last season, and was much discussed.
