Around these parts Joel Embiid reigns supreme. The Sixers superstar drilled perhaps the biggest shot of his career helping Philadelphia take a 3-0 series lead over their boogeyman, the Toronto Raptors. Joel has been seen favoring his ankle, his elbow, and his thumb at points during a vicious first round series that feels more like a Final Four than a first round intensity-wise. Thankfully, the Sixers boast a mostly clean bill of health and will get an extra day off before Game 4 Saturday.
Around the NBA not every top-tier contender is as fortunate as Philly.
