Sixers’ Joel Embiid Questionable to Face Miami Heat in Game 4


When the Philadelphia 76ers faced the Miami Heat for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series last week, the Sixers were forced to play without their star center, Joel Embiid. 

Coming off of a dominant Game 6 victory on the road against the Toronto Raptors in the first round, Embiid was diagnosed with an orbital fracture and a mild concussion. Therefore, the big man wasn’t cleared to travel to Miami last Sunday.

The Sixers entered the second round of the NBA playoffs expecting Embiid to be off the floor for the first two games. Meanwhile, they left the door open for his potential return in Game 3 when the series came to Philadelphia.
