According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid won’t travel for Games 1 and 2 in Miami, but there’s optimism he could return as soon as either Game 3 or 4 in Philadelphia.
Embiid, who suffered a right orbital fracture and mild concussion in the team’s 132-97 series-clinching Game 6 win over the Raptors on Thursday night, needs to clear concussion protocols and see a doctor mid-week on his orbital fracture.
Philadelphia will face Miami in the second round, with Game 1 Monday night in South Florida. The top-seeded Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks in five games.
