Joel Embiid (face) listed as doubtful for Sixers in Game 3
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (orbital fracture) is doubtful for Game 3 against the Miami Heat.
This is surely going to drum up more controversy as Embiid has been vocal about his frustrations, saying he is, "sick and tired of being babied." With the Series tied 1-1 heading down to Miami for Game 3, it appears Ersan Ilyasova and Amir Johnson will shoulder the load at center, while Ben Simmons will be asked to do a lot more on offense if Embiid does sit.
Embiid averaged 43.0 FanDuel points per game in the regular season, to go with 22.9 points and 11.2 rebounds with a .514 effective field goal percentage.
