Joel Embiid may seek departure from 76ers

Joel Embiid may be on his way out of the Philadelphia 76ers, according to reports.

The news emerges two days after a peculiar incident on the Internet, where Embiid himself deleted his location in Philadelphia, giving birth to speculations concerning his future.

A potential exit for the 29-year-old doesn’t seem so unlikely as new President Daryl Morey has openly admitted that he will aim to rebuild the squad.

In addition to that, Morey replaced Doc Rivers with Nick Nurse as 76ers head-coach.
