CAMDEN, N.J.–The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tough spot as they prepare for the Miami Heat for Game 1 of the Eastern semifinals without their superstar big man in Joel Embiid. The big fella suffered an orbital fracture and a concussion in the team’s Game 6 win over the Toronto Raptors.
The Sixers will now have a huge challenge as they prepare for this next series without their best player. Philadelphia will be in trouble if other guys don’t step up on the offensive end in this series and as they get set to head down to Miami on Monday, they will have to figure out just how they replace him.
