The prized rookie from LSU will sit out the rest of the season according to reports on ESPN that his right knee has not fully healed.

All that matters is if he's healthy to start playing next season. Embiid wasn't going to play more than 16 or so of the last 20 some games of the season anyway, so get them both healthy and ready to start day 1 of the 2017-18 season. Embiid, Simmons, Dario Saric, the lottery pick this year, and another player (Jerryd Bayless will be back from the wrist injury that shut him down this year - depending on the draft pick they keep him and he could start) is a pretty nice starting 5. Health will always be the major question mark so that will remain going forward. Not worried about the next month and a half, and frankly, every team in the bottom 5 has started their moves to tank the rest of the way anyway.

Well lets just hope that right knee heals in time for next season.I saw Simmons in action he has MAGIC JOHNSON type passing skills.

Hes a bust, trade him while some other as clown team thinks he has value. (Think less talented Derrek Rose)

Is this about NASCAR?

No consistent left turns. Racing and baseball have consistent left turns. Unless you are a Twins fan.

Yeah right he is not going anywhere.
