Multiple Philadelphia 76ers react to Joel Embiid's injury after the matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
For the sixth time this season, Embiid suited up for Philadelphia on Friday night. It was his second game since returning from a seven-game absence.
Although the Sixers were trailing when Embiid went out, the game was within reach. While they showed signs of a potential comeback while shorthanded, the Pacers managed to gain a significant lead in crunch time and put the Sixers away for their 16th loss of the year. All week long, the Sixers felt they were trending in the right direction. After Embiid returned with a 31-point double-double in the win over the Chicago Bulls, Friday’s game was a chance for the Sixers to form their biggest win streak of the season.
“Stay positive—that’s all we can do,” said Sixers’ Paul George. “Just enjoy going out there hooping, playing for one another. Injuries are a part of this game. Very aware of that. Just try to pick up the pieces and hold it down for Joel. I don’t know what the injury is or what the timetable is or what’s going on, but we just gotta keep it going.”
