but may be able to return for the playoffs. Will have surgery on an orbital fracture suffered when colliding with Fultz during a game. Will be out 2-4 weeks. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/249402/Joel-Embiid-Out-2-4-Weeks-With-Orbital-Fracture-Surgery
I am almost surprised that Fultz didn't have a season ending injury as well with all the bad luck the Sixers seem to go through.
Yeah.. No one says "season ending" unless it means post-season as well. The post-season is, after all, part of the 2017-2018 NBA season.
In related news, the NBA has announced a scheduling change. The Portland Trail Blazers will conclude their 2017-18 regular season by playing the Philadelphia 76ers seven consecutive times. Commissioner Adam Silver explained the reason behind the scheduling change, "It's no secret that the Portland Trail Blazers have been the luckiest team in the league this year and they are the only team that has benefited from playing opponents who are missing their star players. We're just making it official." BNM
He needs Horace Grant goggles for the playoffs. I'm hoping he is going to play. Since Philly is in my neck of the woods, I feel for that team and all the injury streaks they go on. ..
Shit, I almost always look forward to watching Embiid and Simmons play a couple times a week. Well.... Trust The Process!
For once, I agree with you on something!! That carbon-fiber mask was bad-ass! NBA could have made a mint on selling and licensing them if they had let Lebron do all the marketing heavy-lifting for them.
Didn't the same thing happen to Buck Williams (Karl Malone's elbow?) in the playoffs and he hardly missed any time?
