“The one thing I’m not gonna do is give up. No matter what happens. Gotta keep pushing, gotta keep fighting. Gotta keep putting my body on the line for my family, for this city, for this team — I can’t just sit back and feel bad about myself.”

Joel Embiid on playing thru injury:

First 45+ points playoff game vs Knicks since Michael Jordan

'The one thing I'm not going to do is give up. No matter what happens. Got to keep pushing, fighting, putting my body on the line.

For my family, for this city, for this team.'

If we have learned one thing from these playoffs so far it’s that I don’t want to hear a damn word about Joel Embiid’s toughness ever again

The dude has been the best player on the floor by a country mile on one leg and half a functioning face. Guy is a warrior

Embiid said his eye is “consistently dry” and sometimes blurry. Said he’s been using eye drops

Joel Embiid was asked if he’s trusting his knee more since his Game 1 injury scare:

“Nah. I’m just trying to keep pushing… if it’s on one leg, I’m going to go out and try… gotta keep playing better and better and better… tonight I got lucky I made shots.”

Too many Knicks fans here already

Went back to see how long #Sixers Joel Embiid's eye may have been affecting him

4/12 Magic: No issue
4/17 Heat (Play-In): Subtle lopsided blinking
4/20 Knicks (G1): Left eye not blinking
4/22 Knicks (G2): G1 + sunglasses, head down

Only noticeable contact to eye was during G1.

Where is Brian Sutterer MD to talk about the helium gland in Tyrese Haliburton's lungs?

Switched on Pacers - Bucks and first thing I see is Dame foulgrift some bullshit ticky tack call. Instant PTSD.

Congrats & well deserved Tyrese Maxey!!

How has Tom Rothe looked as a left-back for Kiel? Do Dortmund have to spend 35-40 million euros on Maatsen (or a different LB) or is Rothe a viable option already? #bvb

I am still heartbroken over yesterday’s loss. Amazingly painful collapse to witness. Will be at the WFC for game 3. Not sure I can survive another loss. 😩
