TORONTO — Doc Rivers acknowledged the 76ers are concerned about Joel Embiid’s right thumb.
“But, you know, it is what it is,” the Sixers coach said before Saturday’s 110-102 Game 4 loss to the Toronto Raptors in an Eastern Conference first-rounder at Scotiabank Arena.
The good thing for the Sixers is that Embiid’s thumb can’t get worse, according to Rivers. The bad thing is the MVP finalist must play in a lot of pain and discomfort.
