Joel Embiid has a lot of reasons to be upset right now. He missed the first two games of the 76ers 2nd round series against the Miami Heat because of an elbow to the face by Pascal Siakam at the end of Game 6 in the first round.
That elbow is the reason why he’s wearing a mask now and is the reason why the 76ers’ playoff hopes have been hampered a bit in the first place. And the elbow didn’t even have to happen.
But Embiid doesn’t seem to be mad about it at all. He was asked about it after his return to the lineup in Game 3 against the Heat and he still says Pascal Siakam is “my guy.”
