Joel Embiid, sunk by his injuries: "It's very depressing"

The Philadelphia 76ers' star has opened up for the first time in his career about his ongoing physical problems

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers player, tired of getting injured.

Joel Embiid, star of the Philadelphia 76ers and recent NBA MVP, has openly expressed his frustration about the continuous injuries that have kept him sidelined this season (making his career a martyrdom from the start).

Despite not being a specific injury, the inflammation issue he faces has prevented him from playing consistently, clearly affecting both the team and the player himself.

In an interview with ESPN, Embiid did not hide his discomfort about this situation:

"Depressing," he said in describing the recent months. "I'm just trying to understand it. There's no injury. It's just inflammation... we have to solve it. That's all."

The center is fed up and wants to compete at one hundred percent:

"I've been saying this for the past few months. It has been extremely depressing. It's something that hasn't been resolved and has been extremely annoying because I would love to play every game."
