Joel Embiid told the ‘hourglass’ is running short after 76ers land LeBron James and Jaylen Brown
Joel Embiid has his best chance to win an NBA championship in over six years, but he cannot let this opportunity slip. Embiid has never had a starting five as good as the one the 76ers have put together heading into the 2026-27 NBA season.
Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers' star player, believes 2026-27 is his last chance to win an NBA championship. Speaking on NBA Today, ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin highlighted Embiid's motivation to return to his best form. Embiid has been working hard to regain his shape after losing weight and increasing his fitness levels. His health has significantly improved since the team acquired LeBron James and Jaylen Brown.
The reporter emphasized that Embiid's best opportunity to win a championship since joining forces with Jimmy Butler in 2019 has arrived, thanks to the team's strengthened roster. Despite Embiid's injury history, which has prevented him from playing more than 50 games in a season over the last four years, the 76ers' roster gives him the flexibility to miss some games without affecting the team's chances of winning.
