The 7-foot power forward dislocated his ring finger while guarding Steven Adams just a few minutes into the first quarter and, it was downright nasty!
Don’t believe us? Just take a look for yourself, but tread lightly if you’re easily grossed out.
While Embiid was able to return to the game to assist the Sixers in their 120-113 victory, he may face the possibility of sitting out of Thursday’s game due to a problem with his ligaments.
“I want to play. It’s a big game. Last time we played them, we had great success, but at the end of the day, whatever they want me to do,” said Embiid during a postgame interview.
There has been no official word yet on whether Embiid will definitely be sitting out for the Sixers’ matchup against the Celtics.
