Former NBA star Charles Barkley also didn’t hold back his words and had a harsh reaction to Embiid’s recent performance and his fitness.
During his appearance on ‘Podcast P with Paul George,’ Barkley questioned the seven-time All-Star’s fitness and claimed that it is one of the reasons that Embiid gets injured frequently.
“I hope this is a wake-up [call] for Joel, this Olympic experience. He has not played well and I’m hoping he’s like, ‘Yo man, I gotta get in better shape.’ Me personally, I think that’s one of the reasons he’s always injured.”
“He has not played well in the Olympics game at all. I am hoping somebody can get to him and say, ‘Yo man, you need to get in better shape’. You got to be a little bit embarrassed with the way you played in the Olympics”, Barkley added.
