NBA Season 2021-22

Philly is out..no way they can beat Miami now

Yeah I'm going to wait to see the extent of the injury and timeline but if he's out for this series, then it's easy for me to say Heat in 6 or maybe even just 5 games. Harden isn't carrying the Sixers as the alpha

Who even plays center for the 6ers?

Sources: 76ers All-NBA star Joel Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture and mild concussion in series-clinching Game 6 win last night in Toronto. He will be listed as out and there is no timetable for his return.

What a horrible playoffs for injuries

Wait what?? OMG that's brutal news when you consider he's also dealing with the thumb injury 

Hope Embiid gets better. Hating all these injuries so far in the playoffs.

So I'm guessing Embiid will be out at least the first two games of the Heat series?

I thought 2 or 3 weeks...

They haven't stated a timetable yet but I think Game 1 starts in 3 days for PHI. Doesn't sound like enough time to heal. Plus orbital fractures are no joke at all.

Update: Oh yikes, apparently on Twitter some people are mentioning that Embiid suffered a similar injury in 2018 to his other eye (orbital fracture) and he missed 3 weeks. Reading online, it seems if he doesn't need surgery ASAP then he could return in a little over a week. That seems to be best case scenario BUT he also has a mild concussion and the thumb injury so I imagine that'll factor in too

I could be wrong but I think that's it for him unless the 6ers can get by the Heat.

Early indications are that he may be able to avoid surgery. If that's the case, he can come back after 1 or 1.5 weeks. Although dang, this guy may need to get a bunch of surgeries after the season ends (for the thumb, orbital fracture, etc.)

BBall Reed lol. Though Doc Rivers might use it as an excuse to play his adopted son DeAndre Jordan haha

So 4 minutes left in a 30 point game and Doc has Embiid on the floor, Why?

In a week and a half the Sixers are done...

When I watch the play, it seems to be clearly an intentional elbow from Siakim.  Happened right after Embiid dunked and did his airplane.  The funny part is the refs initially called the foul on Embiid's face and on review only changed it to an offensive foul on Siakim.  One of the easiest flagrant calls I've seen. 

Start at 35 seconds for the Embiid dunk.  Then Siakim leads with his elbows on his drive for the layup and doesn't even make the shot attempt until after he's elbowed Embiid.

Bane shooting 47% from 3 in the playoffs so far. Yikes!

You can't post that without your typical Bane post.

Just with the concussion he'd probably miss at least their 1st two games.

The Tweet isn't loading (perhaps deleted?) but Siakam always has his elbows up high. Feel like it's strange that this doesn't happen more often, actually

That’s why you don’t keep your starters in in garbage time.
