Joel Embiid expressed deep concern over his performance after a poor showing against the Boston Celtics, highlighting ongoing knee troubles that have hindered his play this season. After scoring only 15 points and attempting just nine shots, Embiid reflected on his drastic decline compared to his previous performances. He's played in just 18 of the season's 55 games, which has coincided with the 76ers' struggles, suffering a lowly record. Despite a week off for the All-Star Break, he still feels below his expected playing standards.
"The way I was playing a year ago is not the way I'm playing right now. It sucks. ... I probably need to fix the problem, and then I'll be back at that level."
"I'm OK. Still managing it. Got to keep going and hope for the best."
