“You were on the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast, and Brian Windhorst of ESPN picked up on something you said, where you said, ‘If Joel Embiid comes back, you think he’ll be at a high level.’ What did you mean by that? Is there a chance?” Daryl Morey: “My sense is he didn’t listen to my answer. I think I gave a five-minute answer and it got pulled into — I’m sure if things go well for you, John, we’ll get pulled into a couple clips out of it. If you listen to my whole answer, my point was: Joel cares so much about the championship, cares so much about winning, that when he plays — because the question I got was, like, is he going to be the backup big someday for the 76ers — and I really just don’t see Joel being that. He’s an elite player. He cares about winning so much that he’s going to play at a high level when he comes back.”
