| How Many Games Has Embiid Missed In Denver |
A Running Tally of Missed Opportunities:
Embiid's struggles in Denver are well documented. Here's a not-so-fond walk down memory lane:
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Season after Season, the Same Frustration: It all started in the 2020-21 season with a torn meniscus keeping him out. Then came a bout with Covid in 2021-22, followed by mysterious calf discomfort in 2022-23. This past season, a sore knee added to the Denver woes.
The Conspiracy Theories Are Flowing: Let's be honest, the internet loves a good conspiracy theory. Is there something in the Denver water? Does altitude mess with Embiid's superpowers? Maybe the Nuggets have a secret Embiid-neutralizing device hidden under the court? (Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea.)
Embiid vs. Jokic: The Matchup That Never Quite Happens:
Part of the frustration for fans is the missed opportunity to see a clash of titans. Embiid and Denver's Nikola Jokic are two of the league's best big men. A healthy Embiid facing Jokic in Denver would be a ratings bonanza, but alas...
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Embiid might want to consider investing in some high-altitude training or maybe packing a lucky charm for his next Denver trip. Who knows, maybe the mystery will be solved next season!
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
