NBA legend warns: Joel Embiid risks career-threatening injury at Paris 2024
The 76ers center’s back and knee problems could worsen during the Olympics.
Joel Embiid has been a stalwart of the Philadelphia 76ers for the last 10 years. He recently became one of the starters for Team USA that will compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Embiid’s career seems to be on the rise, yet a Detroit Pistons legend advised him to leave the Olympic team.
The Kansas University product began his career on the wrong foot when an injury to the navicular bone in his right foot prevented him from playing his first two years with the Sixers. Since then, injuries have plagued the star center, who now has problems with a meniscus, which had to be operated on in 2016, and his back.
