It’s official since the middle of the night: Joel Embiid will not be present during Game 4 of the series between Sixers and Nets, due to a sprained knee. In the lead with three sets won out of as many as possible, Doc Rivers’ men will have to do without their star. What give Brooklyn a chance to take a match and avoid the broom in this series?
Don’t panic, dear Sixers fans. Your centerpiece is certainly injured in the knee, but Adrian Wojnarowski indicates that everything should be back to normal by early next week. Anyway, no reason to panic because you’re leading 3-0. How did he hurt himself anyway? By challenging a Cam Johnson drive in the third quarter. Seen with pockets of ice around the knee at the end of the match, he had an MRI which therefore revealed a small sprain in his joint.

For the moment, nothing has been confirmed as to a possible presence at Game 5… because there still has to be one. The Sixers will no doubt be keen to validate the sweep of the Nets for confidence and especially to give themselves a rest before attacking the semi-finals of the East once morest at the Celtics to the winner of the Boston-Atlanta series. However, in the event of a big glitch from the Sixers, his presence would be very likely at a hypothetical Game 6 on Thursday in Brooklyn. Let’s not go faster than the music and calmly wait for tonight’s game.
