Listen, I know looking at gross injuries can be gross. There are ones like Gordon Hayward’s foot injury two years ago that I wish I never saw so I’m just going to warn you – if you don’t like gross injuries then get out of this post and go on your way. This one below, however, is no where near the Hayward injury. But still, it’s kinda nasty.
Sixers star center Joel Embiid suffered a dislocated finger during Monday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder that had his left ring finger pointing in a way that ring fingers don’t normally point.
He quickly made his way to the locker room… and then came back out and jumped back into the game with the finger wrapped up.
Yup, he’s much tougher than I am. OK, ready to see this thing?

I feel like Joel Embiid’s finger probably shouldn’t look like this pic.twitter.com/BaNde7t7Nh

Me: I’ll turn on the Sixers to help me forget about Wentz getting hurt in his first playoff quarter.
