Report: Joel Embiid Re-broke Bone In His Foot

JoelEmbiid15This morning on the 94WIP Morning Show with Angelo Cataldi, Philly.com Sixers reporter Bob Cooney reported that a source whom he talked in Las Vegas last week told him Joel Embiid re-broke the same navicular bone in his right foot that they had the surgery on.  It’s shocking news.

Cooney also told Cataldi and the audience that he talked to another source who confirmed the report Embiid re-broke the navicular bone in his his right foot.

Here’s the quote from Cooney.

“Late last night I got a confirmation from another source that I trust, so that’s kind of why it’s a little bit underplayed in the paper today,” Cooney told Cataldi.

This makes things very clear and very troubling at the same time.  Not only did Embiid need to have another surgery, he had re-broken the navicular bone in his right foot again rather than the foot having trouble healing.  Previously everybody had talked about his right foot not healing properly.

I think the Sixers may have misled us because they have been quoted saying the following,  Embiid’s “right foot revealed less healing than anticipated.”

Less healing in his foot isn’t the same as re-broke his foot.
