The Sixers just can’t seem to catch a break.

With right around 50 seconds left in the first quarter, Joel Embiid got tangled up with Cavaliers’ center Ante Zizic. He came away from the collision instantly grabbing at his left shoulder, clearly in pain.

Embiid initially attempted to remain in the game, but after missing two free throws he was quickly subbed out and headed off to the locker room.

Embiid would return to the bench a few minutes later, however he was clearly still in immense discomfort.
