Gilbert Arenas Says Joel Embiid’s Availability Caps the Sixers’ Ceiling

Arenas dismissed Philadelphia as a true East contender, citing Embiid’s inability to play consistently. “You’re not going to be able to be a dominant team when the best dude can’t really go 100 percent every single night,” Arenas said. He added Embiid’s knee limits him to 50–60 games, making sustained playoff success unrealistic, despite Maxey and rookie Edgecombe’s brilliance.
