Other than the awkward wording on “We are poorly designed for that kind of loss” — almost as if he wants to remind you the Sixers are designed for some kind of loss — Sam Hinkie released a very nice statement about the passing of Joel Embiid’s younger brother, Arthur. Embiid is returning home to be with his family in Cameroon during this terrible time. On Instagram, Embiid said some words about his late brother, who was thirteen years old. Said Embiid:

“RIP for my brother who died at the age of 13. The bad thing is that I hadn’t seen since I left Cameroon 4 years ago and all these days, I was just thinking about next summer so I have a chance to finally see him again….. GOD has a plan for all of us. We just gotta pray. HES GONNA BE MISSED.”

We, too, wish Joel and his family the best.
