Beijing time on April 17, NBA playoff Raptors away 111-131 away defeat 76ers, loss and bad news, Raptors nova Barnes 90 degrees foot, left ankle sprain forced to withdraw, after the game Barnes received X-ray examination, the test results are negative, there is no fracture, he will undergo MRI tomorrow, so as to further confirm the injury.
In the fourth quarter of the Raptors and 76ers game, Barnes was unfortunately stepped on by Embiid, resulting in a 90-degree injury to his ankle, and then Barnes covered his ankle and fell to the ground in pain, after which Barnes was helped out of the court.
In this game, Barnes started for 31 minutes, 15 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block on 4-of-6 shooting, and his ankle injury was worrying; after the game, Raptors coach Nas said that Barnes's X-ray was negative, equivalent to no structural damage.
After the game, Nas praised the 76ers for playing well today, but when it came to the blowing penalty of Embiid, Nas was dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty: I hope there will be more penalties for Embiid, I feel that there have been several times in the game, we have attacked Embiid successfully, but we have not heard the whistle. In addition, Embiid had three or four times to push his elbow into the face of our players, but only once was he blown foul.
Nas also said: "We have to learn some lessons from today's game, not only tactically, but also mentally and physically, and we have to play better.
Embiid played 37 minutes today, shooting 5-of-15, 0-of-2 from three-point range, 9-of-11 from 11 free throws, scoring 19 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, and five fouls; the 76ers are currently leading the Raptors 1-0, and G2 will play at 7:30 a.m. on April 19, or at home with the 76ers; in the end, I hope Barnes' ankle injury is not too serious.
