76ers' Joel Embiid Says Heat 'Need Another Star' Amid Game 5 Loss vs. Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid believes that the Miami Heat, who lost 93-80 to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, need another star player on the roster.

He also noted how Boston has simply overwhelmed the Heat with its multitude of options.

Six-time All-Star and four-time All-NBA player Jimmy Butler leads a Heat team that also includes 2020 All-Star Bam Adebayo and six-time All-Star Kyle Lowry.

However, Lowry has been significantly hindered by a hamstring injury. He's playing through it, but scored just three points total in his last two games.
