Joel Embiid Dislocates Finger in Win, a 'Possibility' He'll Miss 76ers' Next Game

Joel Embiid scored 18 points in Philadelphia's 120-113 win on Monday night over the Thunder despite dislocating his left ring finger in the first quarter. But after the game, Embiid told reporters that it was a "possibility" he doesn't play Thursday when the Sixers host the Celtics.

The injury occurred early in Monday night's contest. The Kansas product's bent finger was seen stretching across his pinkie.

He briefly went into the locker room, where he got the finger taped and received an x-ray which Embiid said revealed it was "nothing." He returned to start the second quarter and finished the game with 33 minutes of action.
