I wouldn't believe any reports you read about Embiid's medicals that come out between now and the draft...teams could be posturing hoping Embiid falls to them. ESPECIALLY Lakers/Celtics.
This has been my stance for the last three days. In Chad Ford's BS Report episode, you can follow all the pieces pretty easily:
1) He said that he has heard rumors that there are more red flags than just the back and the foot (like some sketchy bloodwork report, etc), but reiterated that is all speculation
2) He said that the ONLY teams with any of Embiid's records are the Cavs and the Bucks, and then both teams, especially the Cavs, have not leaked one word about what is in them to anyone.
3) Sooooo... nobody has the records, yet there are plenty of these rumors floating around like "Ooooh, he's got some real bad stuff going on. I know I wouldn't draft him any earlier than 6th or 7th..." Wonder who's putting those rumors out...
