76ers’ Joel Embiid returns for 2nd half after appearing to reinjure knee in Game 1 vs Knicks

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — When the Philadelphia 76ers arrived in the locker room at halftime after a miserable second quarter, there was good news waiting. Shortly after appearing to reinjure his surgically repaired left knee after a powerful dunk, Embiid took the court with his teammates for the second half of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Saturday night. “Hats off to him, his determination and his will to win.” Embiid finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists, but it wasn’t enough as the New York Knicks beat the 76ers 111-104. Coach Nick Nurse was asked if he wished Embiid wouldn’t try such a risky play given the condition of his knee.
