Philadelphia's Joel Embiid is out indefinitely with an injury, and the Sixers’ MVP finalist had no business sustaining the injury in the first place.
Embiid should not have been on the court late in the fourth quarter with the Sixers up 29 against Toronto and about to eliminate the Raptors in Game 6 on Thursday.
But Embiid was in the game, sustained a right orbital fracture and concussion trying to defend Pascal Siakam, and his availability for the Sixers' Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Miami Heat is in jeopardy.
