The Philadelphia 76ers have faced significant challenges during the 2024-25 NBA season, with much of the blame falling on their star players, Joel Embiid and Paul George. Both players have now opened up about the issues affecting their performances.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid says he is not as dominant as he once was and needs to fix his injured left knee in order to regain peak form.

Joel Embiid spoke after the Philadelphia 76ers' 124-104 loss to the Boston Celtics. When talking about his knee injury, he noted that he isn't able to perform at the same level that he did in years past because of his injury.
