Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is undergoing an MRI after sustaining an injury to his left leg during their recent game against the Golden State Warriors. The reigning MVP scored 14 points before limping off the court with just over four minutes remaining, following a fall by Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga on his left leg. Embiid's return to action in this game comes after missing Saturday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets and Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to an issue with his left knee.
The 76ers coach, Nick Nurse, provided an update on Embiid's condition, stating that an MRI would be performed either on Wednesday night or Thursday. Nurse mentioned that this latest injury seems to be unrelated to the previous knee issue that has troubled Embiid. The team will have to wait for the MRI results to determine the severity of the injury and the potential impact on Embiid's playing time.
