Wallace further suggested that fans are growing tired of Embiid's conduct and may want to see him leave Philadelphia.

In light of these issues, Coach Nick Nurse revealed that Embiid has been consulting with specialists, and a decision regarding his knee treatment is expected soon.

As of late February 2025, Embiid was ruled out for the remainder of the season to focus on rehabilitation for his left knee injury.

Consequently, the 76ers have several players, including Embiid, sidelined for their upcoming game against the Miami Heat due to injuries.

Rasheed Wallace has voiced his frustration with the Philadelphia 76ers, particularly criticizing Joel Embiid's behavior throughout the season.

Wallace specifically pointed out Embiid's tardiness to practice and his absence from team meetings, despite his role as the team's captain and star player.

Teammate Tyrese Maxey echoed these sentiments, calling out Embiid for his lack of commitment, a stance that Wallace supported as detrimental to team dynamics.
