Barkley yelled at Embiid: “We’re not workers, we’re playing basketball!”

THE Joel Embiid he announced that he will not compete in back-to-back games this year and in general he reportedly wants a special management of his body in order to be in the best possible condition in view of the playoffs. THE Charles Barclay considers the attitude of the center unacceptable Sixers.

“Embiid just signed a three-year, $193 million extension to play basketball. We play basketball, we are not steel workers. There are people who have real jobs and work 40 and 50 hour weeks. We just play basketball four times a week at most. And most often three. Embiid has the best backup center in Drummond, and to come out and say he’s not playing is stupid of the Sixers“, “Chuck” pointed out.

It is worth noting that Embiid, who won the gold medal with the USA in the Olympic Games, has played in 500 matches in his career and has been absent from another 376.

“We’re not steel workers, we’re not nurses… we’re playing basketball, at most, four days a week.”
