Heat & Sixers: 5 Questions

#1 — How long with Joel Embiid be out?

That we don’t know. We do know he will be out for Game 1 due to the concussion protocol that he will have to walk through. And that could be the thing that has him out — because I wouldn’t be surprised to have him put on a mask and play through this, even if it isn’t wise. However, I also wouldn’t be surprised to see him out the whole series. Bone fractures in the face can’t be put at risk to be hit — it’s a dangerous situation.
