What!?! Structural damage to Jokic’s knee

What!?! Structural damage to Jokic’s knee… yep the testing done on Wednesday and, good news, everything is a-okay. Quick scare by the title? Yeah so was I, when reading it from different sources from the internet. His right knee was tested and no structural damage was found; so, that is huge!

The injury at the time was a right knee contusion, happened during the Utah Jazz game. The Nuggets had a scare with their reigning-MVP, however, if losing the game is the worst thing to come out then that is incredible. Why? Because losing him, on top of Murray, would be devastating. Even if it was for a couple of games, it still would have been a heart-breaker.

“He said it feels a little weak, and I just shut him down,” Malone said after the loss. “I took the decision; it’s not his decision to make.”

Nikola Jokic was questionable to return before head coach Mike Malone pulled the plug, and he has good reasons. You can’t risk a guy that is averaging 27/16/4, solid numbers.

Tyrese Maxey Calls Out Joel Embiid For Being Late To Team Activities

With the Philadelphia 76ers starting the season 2-11, tensions and speculations of what is happening have been rising. Notably, Monday night, Tyrese Maxey and the team had an emergency meeting to discuss what’s wrong.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Joel Embiid was called out by Maxey. This is due to him not being a leader and not being able to show up on time to team activities.

“In the meeting, Maxey challenged Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late “for everything” and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff.” Shams Charania wrote on ESPN.

Kyle Lowry did call for this meeting to happen, and the biggest “elephant in the room” was Embiid. Embiid has been noticeably lacking since last season.

Beyond Embiid getting called out, Philadelphia’s players are demanding head coach Nick Nurse to push them harder. Coaches responded by wanting their players to pay more attention to detail and practice with a purpose.

Overall, the meeting was a positive one, which saw coaches and players share the blame for the way they began this season.
