76ers star Joel Embiid falls during warmups but remains in lineup for matchup with Celtics

Associated Press  

BOSTON — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid wasn’t going to let a pregame stumble keep him from playing the rival Boston Celtics in one of the NBA’s marquee games. “It was a little sore, but it was Christmas,” Embiid said after soaking both ankles in tubs of ice in the Philadelphia locker room following the game. “I’ve got to play on Christmas.” Embiid was shooting near the sideline about 45 minutes before tipoff and fell to the parquet after backing up into the security barrier and the guard next to it. “My luck.” A two-time NBA scoring champion, Embiid is averaging 21.3 points and seven rebounds per game this season — far below his career averages.
