The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves right in the thick of the playoff positioning early on in the season. As usual, Joel Embiid has been an absolute monster.
However, it sounds like the superstar center might be feeling underappreciated by the fanbase.
According to Jake L. Fischer, Joel Embiid claims he believes 76ers fans want him to be traded. Look, we know Philadelphia is a tough town to play for and against. Even so, it’s hard to imagine Philly fans actually wanting to trade their superstar center. Regardless, that’s apparently how Embiid feels about the fanbase.
Philly fans really want Embiid out? 😅

For that reason, everyone is a bit shocked. Philly fans are confused and aren’t sure why Joel Embiid feels that way.
Don’t believe the hype on this nonsense. Nobody want him out.

The math is not mathing for these 76ers fans.
Right
Makes sense now . Even some category of fans wants him out what happens is the majority is what we consider in determining fans— jamal fatty (@jamalfatty2) December 14, 2022
We can’t tell if Garritt is trolling or not.
Bro hasn’t done anything except celebrating getting past the first round. Every 76ers fan should be done with him and wanting to trade embid

This really could all be a huge misunderstanding.
Sixers fans should probably do a better job at making him believe otherwise then

Well, the fanbase is at each other’s throats while Joel Embiid doesn’t feel wanted. That’s not a great combo for a team with championship hopes. This really could be Embiid’s way of hinting he wants out, but for now, that is strictly speculation.
