The Eastern Conference playoffs’ tone has changed significantly with the news that Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been absent indefinitely after suffering a fractured right orbit and a slight concussion in the team’s 132-97 series victory in Game 6 of Game 6 over the Toronto Raptors. per night, according to Shams Charania.
Embid was already playing with a torn ligament in his right thumb, which will reportedly require surgery this off-season, and now it looks like he will be forced to stay away with his latest injury. The 76ers are ready to start their semi-final match of the Eastern Conference with the No. 1 Miami Heat on Monday, and it seems that the status of Embed for this match, and perhaps for the series, is in doubt.
MVP contender for the second season in a row, Embid was injured after being kicked in the elbow by Raptors striker Pascal Siakam by four minutes to the end of the fourth quarter.
Embiid is clearly crucial to any potential success for Philadelphia this postseason, leading the team with an average of 26.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Most of the offensive responsibility will fall on James Harden, Tyris Maxi and Tobias Harris, while Embiid is absent.
