Embiid three weeks of no action in the NBA
And the truth is, the player of African descent was very lucky, because when this situation arose, during the third quarter, it appeared to be a more serious injury, and that would even leave him out for the rest of the current season. however the fact that they were leaving on their own called for calm

The Cameroonian records an average per game of 30.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.3 points in the current season, making it the maximum candidate to win the MVP on numbers like LeBron James and the Serbian Nikola Jokic
