On April 30, Beijing time, the famous Ramona Shelburne exposed Embiid's latest injury, she revealed that Embiid should not need to undergo surgery, but he will be absent for 5 days because of concussion.
Embiid has reportedly met with experts to assess the injury to determine the severity of the right orbital fracture. Although he underwent surgery for a fractured left orbit in 2018, sources revealed that there is no indication that the injury required similar surgery.
Embiid will continue to be evaluated next week, but because the concussion needs to be absent for at least 5 days, the first game of the 76ers' series with the Heat will be played in 3 days, and at 7:30 a.m. on May 3, the game will start, so now it seems that Embiid may have a hard time catching up with this showdown.
Of course, if surgery is not needed, it is great news for the 76ers, and it is also a blessing in disguise, and I believe that Embiid will wear a mask to fight.
Embiid's importance to the 76ers is self-evident, with Embiid playing 233 minutes in six games (averaging 39 minutes per game) and the 76ers playing 293 minutes across the team, meaning Embiid was on the field 80 percent of the time in the playoffs.
In addition, Embiid suffered 85 opponent packs in the first round, ranking first in the league, and the second place was Alphabet Brother (64 times). In this case, in the first round of the series, Embiid still averaged 26.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field.
