[Charania] 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.

Sucks.
Shit, Jason Dumas mightâve actually been right
Fuck me
What? Come on now. And here I thought this was the Sixers’ best chance to reach the Finals.
Body just can’t hold up in the postseason.
Celtics path to the finals might be Hawks, Sixers sans Embiid, and Heat or Knicks… doesn’t get easier than that.
Celtics Mickey Mouse Finals run
Bruh Sixers injury luck in playoffs is so bad
Even if he plays the Celtics will run a million PnRs on him to tire him out and make him run on a bad leg. He’d be fried by a game 4 or 5
Sixers are gonna play the Clippers Kawhi tactics arenât they. Heâs probably done
Ok, so he’s just done for the season I’d bet.
Looks like Even if Trae forced game 7 He wouldn’t be 100% for the series
I’m a Celtics fan. This injury sucks. I was really looking forward to a great series. Embiid is a monster.
It isnât really the playoffs unless Embiid has a serious injury
Someone could make a nasty post about Embiid and his playoff durability
Some would say Sixers getting swept by the Celtics is a failure.l, for one, cant w8 for those 4 valuable lessons, improve over the summer and return next year to get another 5 valuable lessons in the 2nd round.
Joel and kawhi canât make a playoff run anymore
Fuck.
As much as I dislike playing against him, I wish he wasnât hurt. Both because I wouldnât wish injury on anyone but also because I actually kinda like the guy when heâs not playing my team. It must suck to deal with this every damn year.
Take some of Joels offensive DNA and inject it into BBalll Paul.
76ers in 7, nerds. WSB taught me to sell on news
It was baffling how many people tried downplaying the injury in the first place. Somehow Docâs comments about the MRI not looking good were just swept under the rug.
I am straight up not having a good time
Sixers try to get a healthy Embiid and get passed the second round challenge: **IMPOSSIBLE**
Embiid with the annual playoff injury
I just wanna know why the sixers Twitter showed him at practice in the huddle.
If the Celtics blow this heavenly golden opportunity .. i swear..
So probably a 5% chance we win this series without Joel. Completely center the offense around James which he is used to, and pray to god he actually hits his shots for four games.
Legacy time for Harden
Don’t worry, James Harden will avg 35 ppg to sweep the Cs đ„đ„đ„
Playoff embiid is back
Looks like Harden must once again lead a team he joined to not have to lead.
He always gets injured by some scrub team that has no chance to beat them but to maul him in the first round
It was wild to me that he kept playing in game 3 when he was clearly injured. They really risked making the injury worse just to win that game 3 against a Nets team with no stars lmao
I’m still amazed someone as large and heavy as Embiid can do the things he does during the regular season. Sucks that we will probably never see a healthy and dominant. Embiid deep in the post season before he eventually declines with age. He should hit up Gordon Ryan’s stem cell guy.
