The Nets didn’t have to face injured Joel Embiid on Saturday in their do-or-die Game 4 against the 76ers.
With the victory, the 76ers bought themselves extra time to rest, and gave their presumptive MVP favorite time to heal. But for Embiid, who has suffered some sort of health woe every single time Philadelphia has been in the postseason during his NBA career, the injury was still a tough blow.
“So let’s win, let’s get him back on the floor. And let’s just keep on our own journey. And that’s basically what we talked about.” The center missed time with: an orbital fracture and mild concussion last season, a knee injury in 2021 and an orbital fracture in 2018. He also played through a knee injury in 2020 and a stomach virus in 2019.
