This is how Embiid's divorce from the Sixers unfolded before the final decision

Something is broken and it may be almost impossible to fix it. Joel Embiid is not at all satisfied with how the Philadelphia 76ers have managed his physical problems. After finally reaching the long-awaited outcome of stopping playing and undergoing surgery, details of the existing divorce between the player and the management have been leaked.

This is not just another rumor; it is not the result of mere speculation. The information is revealed by Shams Charania, and he does so with all the details. Shortly after it became known that Philadelphia 76ers is willing to request a medical report to support the Cameroonian's retirement, thereby exempting them from paying the $300 million he is owed if he does not reappear before February 26, new information is emerging that highlights the underlying issues between both parties.

For weeks, Embiid has been pushing not to have to compete, even requesting a meeting with the owner, Josh Harris, telling him that it would be best for everyone if he stopped playing and focused on recovering from his issues. The team has tried to get Joel to compete, believing that as he got into a rhythm and improved his fitness, his discomfort would lessen. They are now aligned on the need to pause, but it seems evident that there is a significant possibility that Joel Embiid will leave the Philadelphia 76ers.
