Philadelphia 76ers rookie phenom Joel Embiid has embraced the moniker "The Process," an ode to former GM Sam Hinkie and a rallying cry for Philly fans. Unfortunately for Embiid, sometimes his "process" can be frustrating.
Wanting to get back on the floor of Wednesday's 104-99 a double-overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Embiid was told by a team doctor he could not because he surpassed his minutes limit. The Sixers are limiting Embiid to 24 minutes a game to mitigate injury concerns. And while he has been patient with curtailed court time, Embiid's competitiveness got the best of him and he kicked a chair in frustration.
At some point, Embiid's minutes will increase, but until then he will have to continue being patient.
