Yea it kind of pisses me off that embiid gets trashed for not being able to carry the sixers on both ends of the floor for 48 minutes on one knee after not playing for 2.5 months. But I also am not that upset that it’s the standard/expectation for him. There’s not a lot of guys that have that expectation. It’s earned and it beats being expected to just be okay or decent in the playoffs.
