MIAMI -- Joel Embiid never really sleeps well. He's a night owl by nature. And since he moved to the United States (just seven years ago!) he's formed a bad habit of playing video games way too late into the night. This isn't some hobby. Embiid once admitted he thinks he might be "addicted" to video games because his competitiveness is always flowing and has to go somewhere.
In his first three injury-plagued seasons in the league, many a night was spent destroying anyone willing to play him. So just imagine how restless he's been these past three weeks having to sit out with a fractured orbital bone and concussion after running into teammate Markelle Fultz' shoulder on March 28.
