He has a sprained LCL. It's not gonna magically heal and be 100% in less than 2 weeks. The ligament is definitely torn, it's just how bad of a tear it is. Even if he does play, it's going to hinder him.

Judging from his facial expression and very limited movement, he's definitely not able to play tonight. At least not at a high level.

I’ll be shocked if Embiid plays before Game 3, seems like the injury is a lot worse than what Philly is reporting

And the Celtics generally don’t handle being heavy favorites well

 

[Don Homer]

He’s not playing. Celtics in 5

The typical recovery for a sprained LCL is 4-6 weeks depending on the severity. He shouldn't be playing.

I was just rewatching the February 25th game, the one with the Tatum game-winner. Celtics stole that game.

Honestly, I think the difference between the two teams is overstated and I believe the Sixers can still keep the games competitive even without Embiid. Maxey and Harris both didn't have big scoring nights or even many FG attempts.

I think offensively they have enough to win. It's Embiid's defense which is the biggest challenge to replace. Curious to see what Doc will come up with.

Harden lost ....he gonna be at da skrip club by halftime.

There is no buzz or really no discussion in the city about this team (76ers)

Everybody in the tri-state talking about Eagles and Phillies with Harper coming back.

Ownership got some questions to ask themselves this off-season

That's what I'm saying. Game 3 was the only one that really told us anything. And the Sixers controlled most of the game and they kept Tatum in check until the 4th. None of these games was even a double digit victory for the Celtics and people are acting like the Celtics are in a different league than the Sixers. Nah.

With no embiid this series is dead on arrival
