VIDEO: Joel Embiid Brutally Shuts Down Tyrese Haliburton’s Attempt To Recruit Him To The Indiana Pacers

The Philadelphia 76ers are enduring a rough season, currently holding a disappointing 20-34 record. A major factor in their struggles has been the ongoing absence of their star center, Joel Embiid.
Due to a nagging knee injury and a suspension for an altercation with a reporter, Embiid has only played in 17 games so far this season. Despite his limited availability, the franchise has shown unwavering trust in him, standing firmly behind their superstar. This mutual trust has kept Embiid loyal to Philadelphia.
Recently, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attempted to test that loyalty. In a clip from the Netflix series Court of Gold, Haliburton playfully tried to recruit Embiid to Indiana.
“You gonna come to Indy?” Haliburton asked.
Embiid, however, wasted no time in making it clear that leaving Philadelphia was not an option. He shut it down with a blunt response.
“Sike. Never in my life. I’d rather retire,” the former MVP said.

Haliburton took Embiid’s rejection in stride. Instead of pressing the issue, he extended a more casual invitation.
“Next time ya’ll come to Indy, c’mon let’s go for dinner or something. I’ll call my crib,” Haliburton said.
Nick Nurse Provides Injury Update On Joel Embiid
The 76ers will face the Boston Celtics in their next game, and the team resumed practice on Tuesday in preparation. After the practice, head coach Nick Nurse provided a positive update following practice, offering some hope for the team and its fans.
“Good today. Probably in the morning’s usually the first checking point, but he seemed OK today. He seemed like he was moving good and practiced very hard today,” Nurse said.
When Embiid has been on the floor this season, he has made a significant impact. Despite his limited appearances, he has averaged 24.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
