The Philadelphia 76ers gifted Joel Embiid a fat contract (loaded with protections) last week, so I totally understand the organization taking the kid-glove approach with him. Reports say head coach Brett Brown expects Joel’s minutes to be somewhere in the teens to start out the new season (via Philly.com):
“I don’t really know if there’s a solid number,” the coach said after practice, adding, “If you were to choose a number, it would be somewhere like in the teens.”
Fortunately Joel is a levelheaded dude and took the restriction in stride… not. He got a little NSFW and dropped an F-bomb:

Embiid has long been touting “Trust the Process”… looks like he’ll have to do so again until he finally gets the green light to play more than a role player.
On a lighter note, Joel has a new hairstyle:
