Joel Embiid was at shoot around this morning and was wearing sunglasses on the bench. Why is that weird? Because he’s had sunglasses on in public since Saturday night:

I’ll put the tinfoil hat on. There is definitely something wrong with his eye. I don’t think this is exactly gamesmanship from the big guy. Would it surprise anyone if he’s blind in one eye now? Nope. The Sixers would still probably re-evaluate him in two weeks.

His eye was oddly twitching after he got injured going off the glass during Game 1:

At least it gives Embiid a reason to break out the goggles:
