Joel Embiid’s 76ers teammate wants to ‘wrap him in a bubble sheet and hug him’ after latest injury

The Boston Celtics are preparing to host their rival Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night, and while Philadelphia big man Joel Embiid will not be in the lineup, it is unlikely to be an easy night for the home team. The Sixers have won three straight games and are attempting to move up from sixth place in the Eastern Conference. They are 1 1/2 games behind the fifth-place Toronto Raptors and three games behind the fourth-place Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Sixers will not have Embiid in the lineup because he suffered an oblique injury in Thursday night’s win over the Miami Heat. Embiid will miss at least three games due to injury. The Sixers’ big players have been troubled by several injuries throughout their career. Missing a key game against the Celtics as well as the team’s next two games against the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz is a significant issue for Philadelphia.

Teammate Andre Drummond has a lot of sympathy for Embiid and wants the big man to find a way to avoid injuries and stay healthy. “I want to wrap her in a bubble sheet and hug her, man,” Drummond said, according to Gina Mizell. philadelphia enquirer. “I feel like he can’t get a break.”

Embiid has faced health issues throughout his career. This oblique injury appears to be relatively minor, but missing at least three games at this time of year is a huge blow to him and his teammates.

There was no men’s Olympic hockey yesterday, a day before play-ins to solidify the quarterfinals. That way, all the New Jersey Devils in attendance could enjoy a day in Milan, Italy before things got better.

We checked out how each of the Seven Devils is performing up to this point. The barometer is linked below.

Elsewhere, are the Blueshirts ready to draw an offer sheet this summer? Perhaps the promotion in Detroit is exaggerated. And a shocking suspension from France.

Let’s do that hockey.

This was an interesting choice. This probably isn’t something the San Jose Sharks or Jeff Skinner envisioned when he signed to play in California this summer. However, the Sharks are shopping Skinner. He is on unconditional remission till 2 pm tomorrow, which is likely to clear later today.

The Athletic ($): I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this. But, the French Olympic Federation suspended Pierre Crinnon for the remainder of the Olympics for his fight with Tom Wilson. The IIHF and Canada did not suspend one of the NHL’s finest agitators.
