Imagine if Embiid's family didn't push to get him looked at - he would've felt fine, probably played this week or next week, and re-injured it.

This is the timeline as we know it:
Embiid has first injury that's diagnosed as a strain. After a brief sit out, he comes back and shows no ill signs
Embiid gets injured a second time, in a different area of the back, that is diagnosed as a stress fracture. The family wants a second opinion, which he gets, and confirms the original diagnosis of the second injury.
The "back" is a big area. Just because he had two injuries to his back does not mean they were the same injury or that one became the product of the next.
