Joel Embiid would love to play for the Knicks but there’s a problem

An NBA scout recently told NBA Analysis Network that Joel Embiid “likes the idea” of playing for the Knicks. However, the big man doesn’t want to play for Tom Thibodeau.

“Embiid has been thinking privately about playing for the Knicks in recent years,” the scout said. “It’s not necessarily breaking news, many superstars have done the same. From what I’ve heard, he likes the idea of playing in New York, but he wouldn’t want to play for Thibodeau”.

Embiid signed a four-year, $210 million contract extension with the Sixers in August 2021.
