Sixers center and MVP candidate Joel Embiid exited Friday night's game against Wizards after landing awkwardly on his left knee during a dunk. He remained on the ground in pain for several moments before eventually limping to the locker room under his own power.
The play occurred midway through the third quarter with Philadelphia ahead by 20. Embiid is slated to undergo an MRI on his knee, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Embiid was having another sensational game, scoring 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting with seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
