it really would be cool if the start of the second round was something other than “Joel Embiid injury update watch” but alas

The Celtics have moved to -220 to win the Eastern Conference with this latest bit of Embiid news. They’re almost down to even-money (+130) to win the championship. – 6:32 PM

It can feel cliche when players/coaches say “we just showed different looks” when asked about defending an opposing star.
But…Boston literally did that in the Tatum buzzer-beater game.

Philadelphia will likely not have Joel Embiid for at least Game 1 if this series with the Celtics. PJ Tucker has a message for his teammates for life without the MVP front runner. #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2023/04/29/pj-… via @SixersWire – 4:32 PM

I’m not saying Doc Rivers is lying or exaggerating about Joel Embiid, but I will say that I won’t truly believe Embiid is out until I see it on the injury report. – 1:28 PM

So, Canada gets France in Group H. Probably the toughest of the possible options. On the bright side Gobert has said he’s not committed to playing this summer, but Wembanyama might, and Joel Embiid is a possibility too. – 8:39 AM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: As Embiid’s history of playing through injuries and pain shows, it can be fluid depending on his progress. He has been able to do some individual spot-up shooting the past several days and will be evaluated daily. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 29, 2023
Jason Dumas: Source: Joel Embiid is experiencing a lot of pain in that right knee. His LCL sprain is typically a 4-6 week recovery. I’m told it would be a pleasant surprise if he were able to play in either of the first two games in Boston. -via Twitter @JDumasReports / April 29, 2023
Tim Bontemps: Doc Rivers says Joel Embiid didn’t do anything today, and “if he’s a betting man, would say he’s doubtful” for Game 1. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / April 29, 2023
