My left side of my face, my mouth and my eye. It’s been tough. But I’m not a quitter. I’m going to keep fighting through anything. It’s unfortunate, that’s the way I look at it. But it’s not an excuse. I’ve got to keep pushing.”MVP, Embiid was 13 of 19 from the floor, made 19 of 21 free throws and hit five three-pointers in Game 3.
