On April 30, Beijing time, it was extremely unfriendly for 76ers fans, and the 76ers officially announced a relatively bad news. Embiid, the 76ers' star, was injured in the game against the Raptors and did not return to the schedule, and now the pressure has come to Harden in an instant.
According to sources, Embiid suffered a slight concussion and a fracture of the right eye socket this time, which was a fatal blow to the 76ers, and no one dared to imagine what the 76ers would look like without Embiid. At the moment, Embiid is absent and there is no clear timeline for the return date.
This is not Embiid's first injury in the playoffs, before Embiid was affected by the tearing of the thumb ligament, the injury was not good, and he suffered a concussion and orbital fracture, which was undoubtedly worse for the 76ers.
Embiid fractured his right eye socket and suffered a slight concussion, injured in the final moments of the G6 match against the Raptors, when Siakam broke through the basket from the right side and hit Embiid in the face, after which Embiid covered his face with his hands in pain and retreated off the court, looking like he was indeed injured.
It is estimated that Siakam did not expect Embiid to be hurt so badly, and now Embiid's state is very anxious for the 76ers, Harden is also worried, if Embiid can not play in a short period of time, then Harden's tactical position will change significantly.
The 76ers' test for Harden will also begin, after all, the 76ers will play against the Heat team of tough guys, and the Heat's offense and defense are high-level presences in the league. Embiid is absent, Harden and Maxi need to take on a big role on the offensive end, the most important thing is that the 76ers' interior line will become quite weak, the Heat's Adebayo will be useful at once, and the 76ers' interior line will suffer a huge blow.
In the key playoff games, the lack of embiid such a core player averaging 30+ per game, the 76ers' playoff second round trip is worrying, I hope Embiid will return as soon as possible, otherwise the direction of the series is likely to change significantly.
Do you think the 76ers can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals without Embiid?
