With a chance to close out the series in Toronto, 76ers star center Joel Embiid intends to play in Saturday’s Game 4 despite a lingering thumb injury, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
Embiid is reportedly “experiencing pain and discomfort” in his right thumb but managed to practice Friday, as first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne. It was reported that he may need an MRI, which he now plans to have when the Sixers return to Philadelphia after Game 4, per Haynes.
