[Shams] Sources: The knee injury 76ers star Joel Embiid suffered April 20 is considered to be more serious than a Grade 1 LCL sprain. He is currently doubtful for Game 1 vs. Boston.

Damn dude, you’re quick. Didn’t even take half a minute to get a quick cry in.
Yep, its over. We will need to beat celtics without embiid.
Cut my life into pieces
So dumas did in fact have sources, another year same story sadly
His body just can’t hold up in the playoffs
Smokescreen, Shams is in on it
Honestly I’m not that worried. MAYBE I’ve just been talking myself into not being worried, but I don’t think it’s too big of a deal if he misses the first two games. If there’s one thing Doc is good for, it’s winning games with shitty lineups. I feel like we have a chance to take 1 of those first 2 and get Embiid rested up, gotta deal with the cards we’re played
tie me to a missile and fire at Boston, i am ready
There’s a second tweet to this
That’s an actual 4-6 weeks, might be the season for him
Update
[As Embiid’s history of playing through injuries and pain shows, it can be fluid depending on his progress. He has been able to do some individual spot-up shooting the past several days and will be evaluated daily.](https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1652436578143182848)
Kyle Nuebeck didn’t hear anything about this and he’s far more legitimate and connected than whoever this Shams guy is.
Hopefully he’ll be back in time for the next round against New York.
Bball Paul legacy games Incoming
Well I help games 1 and 2 are fun to watch. Lets see what Reed and Maxey can do
BBall Paul
We are finished unless Harden makes a vintage performance and drops 40 every game
It was baffling how many people tried downplaying the injury in the first place. What about Embiid or the Sixers medical staff would have made you felt that way in the first place? I was worried the second Doc said the MRI didn’t look good and that was somehow just swept under the rug.
If that’s it, time to blow the team up
Hello darkness my old friend
I never open reddit to good news
Jo’s knee will not stop this team.
Don’t fucking matter who we got. Sixers in six.
Well this is a shitty situation to be in. Why do these things always happen during the second round every year?
If true, tough conversations need to be had
pfffff this guy has no sources….. right…………………….riiight?
In all seriousness. This Celtics team is still beat-able.
I work at sfa so I watched this series very very closely.
The Hawks were PICKING the Celtics apart with the PNR.
They were using Trae to attack Horford or Williams on switches, whoever was on the floor.
Deandre was able to use his size against white/brogdon
Collins and bogy were excellent floor spacers.
We really need to emulate that kind of formula with Harden and Maxey attacking the bigs and dishing to Tobi, Niang, Mcdaniels, PJ.
And tobi is gonna need to pick his spots and attack.
Doc gon have to coach his ass off.
And for some reason, I believe in the guys. Let’s see.
Changed my phone wallpaper to a Sixers wallpaper this morning. Before I did it, I thought, “this goes against my typical superstitious nature”. But where has my superstitious nature gotten me thus far? No championships my whole life. So I did it.
It’s all my fucking fault.
I give up. Idk what to believe. Reports say he’s out 4-6, others say 1-2, doc says doubtful for game 1, shake says he’s playing. I can’t handle anymore of it. Staying off the internet until GameDay. See ya Monday y’all! Try not to go insane following all the news relating to Embiid.
Despite this, I have faith we can steal a game on the road. Embiid comes back, and we are full power, ready to defeat the Celtics. Y’all, don’t lose faith. Celtics aren’t as good as The Media has been saying, seriously.
What a crappy 8 years
These fucking dicks. Kawhi had a knee sprain too and then all of a sudden, whoopsie, it’s actually an mcl tear.
