Joel Embiid will receive an MRI to determine the extent of his left shoulder injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey reported Wednesday.
In the first quarter of Philadelphia's eventual 108-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Embiid bumped his shoulder as he was fouled by Cavs center Ante Zizic. He attempted both free throws, missed both and was removed from the game at the next dead-ball stoppage.
Embiid walked straight to the locker room to be examined. He returned to the team's bench briefly in the second quarter, but was quickly asked back to the locker room.
