It looked like Bud had finally figured out that the playoffs are superstar basketball and he can't sit Giannis (who has been an ironman for the past couple of seasons) as much as he does in the regular season. So far Giannis in his first 2 games has played 35 minutes (game 1) and 31 minutes (game 2) while Embiid has played 38 minutes (game 1) and 35 minutes (game 2). You can have the argument that the Nets were absolutely obliterating the Nets in both games so there was no point in keeping Giannis in but the Hawks were running the Sixers through the grinder before the 2nd half comeback.
Like honestly, dude is risking his health, and giving everything for this team, in the game 4 he was absolutely exhausted and he looked like he was gonna die out there. He's been giving 110% in every game
Meanwhile Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris dont want to step up. They play weak and seem afraid to try to score in 2nd halves. The 4th quarter last night was an embarassment, those 2 looked completely lost
Honestly if I was Embiid I dont know for how long I could put up with this bs. We need to shake things up before Embiid gives up on this team
We all know a healthy Embiid is a different beast, but now I’m questioning if his health is worth a shot at a title where the sixers fall short due to his injury slowing things down.
Joel's postseason run, thus far, has been truly ridiculous -- especially his shooting splits. If the Nuggets and Sixers can somehow match up in the finals I think it will go down as one of the best center-duels of all time (Hakeem v Shaq, etc.)
Embiid tweeted "I had a torn meniscus" after tonight's loss. Imagine if Steph tweeted "I was injured" after losing in 2016 finals?

It's fine that he did that. Obviously, he had a great series, but if any other player does that after a loss like that, they would be criticized to hell. If Steph tweeted "I was injured" after the 2016 finals, he wouldn't hear the end of it.
Hi guys,
I am 23 years old right now. And on 21st June 2021, I got into bike accident and flipped my knee at bad angles, after doing MRI, I got to know that there is complete tear of ACL along with Bucket handle tear to lateral meniscus and Y share tear to medial Meniscus.
My doctor suggested not to have immediate surgery and to wait for at least 3 weeks. Since my injury, I have read a lot about this ACL + Meniscus repair and reconstruction surgeries and their recovery timelines. But I feel depressed after reading that people going through such surgeries are more prone to have Arthritis in the future. I feel like now after the injury, i wont be able to get back to my initial level of activity. And sometimes I also feel like ending my life thinking that it isn't worth living with so many problems going forward, I know its wrong, and I wont do that stupid thing, but that thought comes to my mind more often.
I don't know how to deal with the situation. Any help or experiences would be truly appreciated.
My main worry is my Meniscus tear, I have read that Meniscectomy at this age is not a good option at all, and Meniscus repair my or may not be successful.
Tweet >Embiid on how his knee feels: "It's alright. I don't know, playing on a torn meniscus is I guess not easy...just got to keep managing it and hope for the best."
Hey everyone, in this video I explained Joel Embiid’s knee injury (small lateral meniscus tear), the good news about what we’ve heard so far (including if it can get worse), the bad news about playing with the injury, and how the Sixers physio and how the training staff will manage it on a day to day basis to evaluate Embiid’s status moving forward. Thanks to the mods for letting me post.

Hey guys,
I am a 26 yo male. Got surgery for a grade 3 ACL tear + bucket handle meniscus tear on my left knee on 06/21 (Mon). So it's been 5 days post surgery. The leg is propped open in the fully extended position.
Although the pain has been decreasing day by day, I am not able to lift or even move my leg without support. When someone else isn't helping me, I use yoga bands or the handles of my crutches to support and move my leg.
Not being able to lift and move my leg 5 days post op is kind of concerning me. Is this common?
P.S. I don't think I was given a nerve block, so that cant be it.

Shams:
76ers’ Joel Embiid has a small meniscus tear in his right knee, team says. He is day-to-day.
I'm not very familiar with FLUENT, typically just do structural modeling. I was interested in doing some simple models that involved some fluid capillary / meniscus effect.
I usedthis tutorial as guide. The approach taken in it is:
-
select multi-phase, and have two fluids in the material definition, air and a liquid (water in this case).
-
set surface tension values and allow wall adhesion, then in boundary conditions add a contact angle to the walls.
-
use adaption region->patch to make one part of the volume/area liquid, the remainder air.
So I attempted to begin this with the most basic version, just a rectangle or something.
However, my results are quite inconsistent. I find that when I model a geometry similar to the one in the tutorial, or a geometry with two rectangles/areas, it appears to work as expected (or reasonably close).
However, when I have a structure with a single rectangle/area/whatever, it does not.
The settings appear to be the same on both (definition of the materials, gravity, mixture, etc). I'm probably missing something obvious. Help!
I have a friend who lives overseas who is spending the summer in SLC and needs to have surgery on her knee for an ACL reconstruction and to fix a torn meniscus while she is here. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good orthopedic surgeon? We have already contacted TOSH but they can’t fit her in quickly enough. Thank you!
Damn, brutal, missed close to 50 games this year because of knee, and now has to undergo surgery again. Can easily be a top 50 player but health is gonna be a huge concern, where we thinking of drafting him? I'm thinking earlier than 6-7 is pretty risky
