Kansas has been saying it's a "back strain" until yesterday Bill Self came clean and said the injury is more "significant" then just a strain

Has to hurt their seeding if Embiid is out?

Kansas is going to lose to Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals of their conference tournament.
 
Gotta feel for Kansas and the kid. I love watching him play. Would be great if every team could be fully healthy in the tournament, but it just doesn't work like that.

if they do and embiid is out, i cant imagine them being a top 4 seed.

With the loss to OSU they are a 3 AT BEST but that is under the impression Embiid would be back for tourney.

I agree - I hate when anyone gets injured. I want Syracuse with a full roster to beat other teams with their full roster.
 
At least we're not the only one with a big man curse.
 
He ain't coming back

I gotta agree. If it's that bad, and he has a shot at a high draft pick, no way in hell Self plays him and potentially hurts the kid's future. He's been out about a month now, right, and he's still no closer to playing? It's obviously a bad injury.

Very true.

Amazing. Im surprised the media hasnt taken up a collection for him.
 
He'll be returning right around the time Cal get's back in this...
 
Cuse curse. Center goes down right before NCAA tournament hobbling a potential championship team (and also ending the player's college career).

Funny how much more press the Embiid injury gets vs Grant

Embid's injury is worse?
 
Gotta feel bad for the kid. He has great potential! I hope he heals before the draft. If not, I hope he has been keeping up with his school work.
 
If he gets drafted ahead of parker or wiggins it might blow up in the face of that team.

The guy is a freaking teenager and has back issues. Not to mention taller than humans are designed to be.

There is a long historical lineage of talented bigs who flame out early due to injury.

Im sure age and added weight that comes with it will do wonders for his back problem.

Agreed. I still remember the pit in my stomach walking crosstown back to the office after the G'town game when Onuaku went down...Injuries suck...
