Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is currently working his way back from a second knee surgery in 14 months. The big fella, and superstar player, was clearly not himself in 2024-25 as he played only 19 games and averaged 23.8 points and 8.2 rebounds while shooting only 44.4% from the floor and 29.9% from deep.

The 76ers have undergone multiple coaching and front office changes over Joel Embiid's time with the franchise.

A recent feature by ESPN shows how Joel Embiid didn’t advocate for himself when he was younger and how that’s created a pattern with the Sixers.
