Joel Embiid Intending To Return For Game 3
3 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (concussion, face, thumb) will warm-up ahead of the playoff meeting against Miami on Friday night. The big man cleared concussion protocol, so unless he suffers a significant setback, he will return for Game 3 after being sidelined since the series finale versus the Toronto Raptors. Embiid may see his usual workload, primarily with Philly looking to avoid dropping another one. However, he's still battling a torn thumb ligament, and he may also be wearing a protective face covering, so his DFS outlook isn't as favorable. Still, considering Embiid's history, he should never be dismissed.
