Joel Embiid isn’t letting an injury stop him from throwing his shirt off while dancing on stage at Meek Mill’s concert in Philadelphia on a Friday night.
Embiid shared footage on his own Instagram Story, and of course, many other videos were shared on social media.

I know what you’re thinking, well, you’re either thinking, “Trust the process! Woohoo, go Joel Embiid — my hero!!!!” or, “NOOOO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! You’re injured!!”
Maybe more are now thinking the latter since on Saturday news broke that Embiid has a “very minor meniscal tear,” and not a bone bruise, as was previously reported. He hasn’t played in a game since Jan. 27.
Colangelo said Embiid's MRI after injury vs. Portland revealed "very minor meniscal tear."

Colangelo on Embiid meniscus: "It was not thought to be acute & it was not thought to be the source of the pain, inflammation or symptoms."

Colangelo on Embiid meniscus tear: "It's not thought to be an acute injury, meaning likely or could have been pre-existing."

However, Embiid has an answer to anyone hating on him for dancing on stage with Meek Mill: He says he’s 23 years old, that he’s been doing things like this the whole year and he’s not going to stop having fun.

So yes, Embiid is injured, and it seems worse than originally thought, but no, he will not stop doing things that young people do. 76ers fans, you know what to do — trust the process.
