“You have been on the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast, and Brian Windhorst of ESPN picked up on one thing you mentioned, the place you mentioned, ‘If Joel Embiid comes again, you assume he’ll be at a excessive stage.’ What did you imply by that? Is there an opportunity?” Daryl Morey: “My sense is he didn’t hearken to my reply. I feel I gave a five-minute reply and it received pulled into — I’m certain if issues go properly for you, John, we’ll get pulled into a pair clips out of it. Should you hearken to my complete reply, my level was: Joel cares a lot in regards to the championship, cares a lot about successful, that when he performs — as a result of the query I received was, like, is he going to be the backup huge sometime for the 76ers — and I actually simply don’t see Joel being that. He’s an elite participant. He cares about successful a lot that he’s going to play at a excessive stage when he comes again.” -via YouTube / Might 15, 2025
