On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Eastern Conference focus battle, the 76ers defeated the Knicks 125-114 at home to tie the series at 1-2! Embiid played well, but was revealed by medical experts to have suffered Bell's nerve palsy.
The 76ers were able to win today, and Embiid was indispensable. In the whole game, Embiid played a total of 41 minutes, shooting 13 of 19, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 17 of 19 free throws, with a total of 50 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, as well as 3 turnovers, with a plus/minus of +16!
However, during the game, medical expert Brian Sutterer talked about Embiid's difficulty blinking and distorted facial expressions regarding Embiid's on-court expressions. "Embiid may have had Bell's palsy, and while Embiid and the 76ers may seem like a light deal, it could be a big problem for a long time," he said. ”
After the end of the previous game, Embiid was lying on the ground, struggling to accept the loss. Brian Sutterer once said, "His right eyelid blinked, but his left didn't." This means that the left eyelid may not be innervated as much as the right. ”
So far, Embiid himself and the 76ers have not officially released their views on the matter. According to the schedule, the fourth round between the two teams will be played on April 29, and the 76ers will continue to sit at home.
