Nick Nurse said that Joel Embiid’s injury which forced the center to leave the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the Golden State Warriors in the fourth quarter was not related to the center’s previous knee injury that held him out in recent games.
Embiid left the game after Jonathan Kuminga landed on his leg.
Embiid is scheduled for an MRI.
Nurse added that Embiid felt good before the Warriors game, and the medical staff was comfortable clearing him to play.
