Joel Embiid doesn’t agree with load management in past from Sixers

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid doesn’t believe load management in the past was the right approach.

CAMDEN, N.J.–Load management is such a popular term in the NBA as teams try and make sure their stars are fresh for when the games matter the most in the playoffs.

Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid is one of those players as he would be held out of certain games in order to rest him and make sure that he was at his best in the playoffs.

However, in playoff runs in the past, Embiid was always dealing with some sort of injury. Something always popped up and as he heads into the 2022 playoffs, he feels he is at his best after playing in a career-high 68 games and playing a career-high 33.8 minutes per game.
