Joel Embiid will miss more games with an oblique injury
After turning a a pair of dynamic performances after the All-Star break, Joel Embiid he is expected to miss multiple games with a strained right hamstring.
Taking to social media to reveal Embiid’s latest injury in a stop-and-start season, The Athletic’s Tony Jones revealed that “The Process” miss the next three games after straining the right hair in the team Thursday night’s win over the Miami Heat.
“Philadelphia 76ers Star center Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with right oblique strain and will miss the next three games” Jones wrote on social media.
Early in the season on the shelf as he recovered and accelerated from offseason surgery, when Embiid actually took the court for the 76ers, he largely regained his MVP form. “The Process” is averaging 26.6 points in just 31.2 minutes of action per game, dishing out 3.9 assists and 7.5 rebounds nightly, and has accepted to let Tyrese Maxey take over the offense at times, shooting 31.8 percent from 3-point range as a 3-point shooter, while power forward Jadir Barr works as a power forward on Jadir Barr. painted surface.
Can the 76ers keep things going against the Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz until Embiid likely returns against the Atlanta Hawks on March 7? Considering the team has a 12-14 record with Embiid out, that might be difficult, but given that this injury occurred in a game instead of further degradation of his knee or any other part of his lower body, it’s safe to assume that “The Process” won’t need too much reinforcement to return to his vintage form next month.
