It wouldn’t be a Sixers playoff run without an injury. Well played, Injury Gods:

This is just business as usual. If there is anyone who has the pain tolerance to play through an injury to a major appendage it’s Joel Embiid. As long as ‘Good Tobias’ keeps coming around and Scott Foster won’t be there, then everything will be good. Positive vibes only. If you’re scared get a dog.
