The “76ers” beat the “New York Knicks” 125:114 on Friday night Lithuanian time, and J. Embiid, who played a phenomenal game, revealed that he has health problems.
The center scored as many as 50 points (8/12 doubles, 5/7 triples, 19/21 penalties) in 40.5 minutes, recovered 8 balls and distributed 4 assists.
The star of the Philadelphia club told reporters after the victorious match that he suffers from Bell’s palsy.
“The left side of my face, my mouth and my eye… It’s hard, but I’m not one to give up and give up.” I will continue to fight through all the problems,” explained J. Embiid.
The Cameroonian, who holds US citizenship, revealed that the issue has haunted him since the knockout stage.
“It’s a thankless situation, but it’s no excuse. I have to keep going forward,” added J. Embiid.
This season, the basketball player spent almost half of the NBA season (he played 43 games, 40 of which were in the regular season – ed.). The Philadelphia face also suffered a knee meniscus injury and was sidelined for 2 months.
The center is collecting 34.6 points (55% doubles, 38.9% threes, 88% penalties), 11 rebounds and 5.6 assists in the NBA championships this year.
