Joel Embiid’s recovery following the orbital bone fracture he suffered after colliding with teammate Markelle Fultz during a game against the Knicks last month has been slow. He’s been keen to get back on the court, even sporting a crazy new mask in order to do so safely, but he’s been frustrated by how slowly he’s been allowed to really get back in the game. However, according to a new report from Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer explains why the 76ers are being so cautious with their all-star player.
Embiid is listed as doubtful for Game 3 against the Miami Heat on Thursday night, and if he misses it, it’ll be the 11th game Embiid has sat out since his injury. Plus, he missed all but 31 games last season also due to injury. No matter how “fucking sick and tired of being babied” Embiid is, it sounds like there’s real danger in letting him play. Pompey argues that since “Miami is a physical team” and the current state of the NBA has players “throwing elbows” like it’s “just a part of the game, a shot to the left side of Embiid’s face could do major damage.”

“Something tells me Sixers may hold him out of the first round completely…”

And CompLex gets it wrong once again!
Any injury can be permanent if you comeback early and re injure it, but at least its not a joint injury. That shit happened to Grant Hill, he kept playing on a fucked up ankle and he was never the same.
