With the 76ers teetering on the brink of elimination, Joel Embiid is set make his triumphant return to the playoffs on Friday night.
Embiid, who suffered an orbital fracture and a mild concussion just one week ago, has been cleared to re-join the 76ers lineup for Game 3 against the Heat, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The MVP candidate is expected to don a protective mask after clearing concussion protocols earlier in the day; Embiid previously wore a mask when he, coincidentally, returned from the same injury in Game 3 of Philadelphia’s first-round series against Miami in 2018.
