NBA Playoffs: Joel Embbiid after eye socket injury questionable for Philadelphia 76ers against Miami Heat
Shock for the Philadelphia 76ers. In game 6, Joel Embbiid suffered a fracture in the eye socket against the Toronto Raptors and also a slight concussion. His commitment to Miami is at risk.
This reports Shams Charania from the athletic. Empbiid suffered the injury four minutes before the end of game 6 against the Toronto Raptors when Raptors-Forward Pascal Siakam hit the Sixers star with his elbow on his face. The game had long since decided, the Sixers won 132: 97 and prevailed in the series with 4-2.
How long Embbiid has to pause is still unclear. The franchise did not yet comment on the injury of the superstar. Ramona Shelburne (ESPN), which maintains good contacts with the Embiid camp, reports that the center will be at least five days, but this is due to the brain accumulation. The Sixers will examine their star again in the coming week, and use in the series will at least not be excluded.
Epfiid suffered a similar injury to the eye socket four years ago, at that time the center missed three weeks and subsequently missed a mask in the playoffs. According to Shelburne, no surgery is probably necessary this time.
The series against Miami Heat starts on Tuesday night. For Embiid, it is also not the first injury in these playoffs. The center was already injured in game 3 against Toronto on the thumb. A ligament tear in the thumb was diagnosed, the 27-year-old decided to only carry out a necessary operation after the playoffs.
Epfiid still played a good series against Toronto, in an average of 39 minutes the center put 26.2 points and 11.3 rebounds from the field. In game 3, the MVP candidate also met the GameWinner, who gave Philadelphia an interim 3-0 series management. If Embbiid actually fails, the Sixers have a problem that Deandre Jordan and Paul Reed would be available as a replacement.
