Embiid three weeks out of action in NBA
And the truth is that the player of African origin ran with great luck, because when this situation occurred, during the third quarter, it seemed to be an injury of worse consideration, and that would even leave him out of the rest of the current season, however the fact of going out on his own called for calm.
However, the 76ers will have to know how to play without Embiid on the court, then when the pivot is absent he has a negative record of only one win and five losses, A situation that jeopardizes his place of privilege in the East, and even his presence in the NBA Playoffs.
In the current season, the Cameroonian records an average per game of 30.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.3 points, and is the top candidate to win the MVP above figures such as Lebron James and Serbian Nikola Jokic.
