Joel Embiid was out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, and his status for Game 2 is shaky.
“We’ll see moving forward,” 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said pregame. “I honestly don’t know. I hope, but I can’t even say.”
The soon-to-be MVP went down in Game 3 of the 76ers’ first-round series against the Brooklyn Nets. Soon after the round concluded, it was revealed that Embiid’s knee injury was worse than initially let on.
Reports indicate that Embiid is dealing with a sprained LCL.
