Daily News | Joel Embiid suffered LCL sprain and could wear brace in Sixers’ second-round series, sources confirm
In no world should life be so uncertain for an NBA team after its most impressive first-round playoff performance. Yet inside the 76ers’ practice facility on Tuesday, there was a sense of concern from the Eastern Conference’s hottest team.
The Sixers are awaiting the winner of the first-round series between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks.Boston takes a 3-1 series advantage into Tuesday’s Game 5 at T.D. Garden. If the Celtics win Tuesday, the conference semifinals will start Saturday in Boston. If Atlanta wins, Game 1 won’t take place until Monday.
Embiid watched film with teammates but didn’t participate in Tuesday’s practice. Following the session, he worked out in the weight room with Sixers head athletic trainer Kevin Johnson. An MRI Friday in Philadelphia revealed that Embiid had suffered a knee sprain. As a result, he was sidelined in Saturday’s Game 4 of the first-round series. And assuming the semifinals begin this upcoming Saturday, that would be nine days after the injury.
