Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid fired back against criticism surrounding his availability and conditioning Friday while he continues to rehab a left knee injury.
“When I see people saying, ‘He doesn’t want to play’ – I’ve done way too much for this city, putting myself at risk, for people to be saying that,” said Embiid, via PHLY Sports’ Kyle Neubeck.
Embiid’s remarks come after the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Marcus Hayes commented on the big man’s health and weight Wednesday.
