The Philadelphia 76ers will have to try and make a comeback in Game 4 without centerpiece Joel Embiid. Embiid left the game with right knee soreness after falling awkwardly on a shot attempt in the first quarter.
Embiid appeared in 51 games for the 76ers, missing time earlier in the season with knee issues. Still, he led the team in Win Shares, as calculated by Basketball-Reference, despite playing the fewest games of the starting rotation. He continued that dominance into the postseason, putting up 29.3 points per game in the first three games of the series, chipping in eight points in just over 11 minutes of action in Game 4 before exiting.
