Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid was listed as doubtful by the Philadelphia 76ers to play in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. But the newly-minted MVP has other plans.
Embiid reportedly told his teammates “I’m back” after a team celebration of him winning the MVP. Embiid has missed his team’s last two playoff games due to a sprained LCL in his right knee.
After miss the closeout game over the Brooklyn Nets, Embiid also missed Game 1 of the 76ers Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Celtics. Despite being without the MVP, Philadelphia won that game in Boston behind 45 points from James Harden.
