[Wojnarowski] ESPN Sources: Sixers star Joel Embiid has been treated for a mild case of Bell’s Palsey for the past week. The condition began during the play-in victory over Miami but he has wanted to keep it private to avoid distractions for his team.

  1. *googles what Bell’s Palsey is*

    It’s a sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.

  2. Wentzsylvania13

    WIP listeners eatening this up to demand that Embiid is basically LJ Smith

  3. Man’s gonna be playing through Malaria at some point in his career lmao

  4. so who leaked it if hes been trying to keep it private?

    Class act as always Woj

    Joel is one tough motherfucker. Enough of this “soft” slander when we lose or things don’t go our way. You all know who you are (*cough Howard Eskin cough*).

    Dude is a warrior.

    – Blinking with one eye
    – Awkwardly covering his face during interviews
    – Sunglasses at practice
    – Missing FT at an unusual rate

    Didn’t take a genius to figure out something was up.

    “Not gonna go on the BBells Palsey victory tour. So don’t start. We’re trying to win a world championship, man.” – Embiid this playoffs

    WHAT?! It’s genuinely insane how much he’s had to go through.

  12. runnerd81

    Convinced God is making up injuries just to test them out on Sixers players

  13. iam_soyboy

    Watch the NBA fine us for not putting it on the injury report

  14. jloops03

    This dude is the toughest motherfucker I’ve ever seen

  15. CPTHoagie

    This is like 600000x more impressive than the flu game lol.

  16. sghostr417

    shit wonder how long that’ll stay, this dude been thru it all

  17. economist_

    WTF Joel. This guy is truly unreal. Half legged one eyed dropping a 50 burger on these clowns. Legendary stuff

  19. He was seeing three rims and just shot at the one in the middle 

  20. Ninjapirate2000

    How does he even get that lol. So cursed

  21. GrittyTheGreat

    Think about the amount of mental stress he has been going through the past few week or so worrying about both his knee and Bells Palsy? What he did tonight was absolutely remarkable.

  22. unpronouncedable

    His left eye is too locked in to be bothered with shit like blinking.

  23. Baz_Daddy

    What an insane experience it is to be a Sixers fan…

  24. ItsAMeEric

    poor Embiid has such cursed health. It was clear something was off with him with the way his face, especially his smile, looked way different than normal, but didn’t think it was something this serious. 50 point game is even more insane now

  25. Patient_Jicama_4217

    Called this in the game thread a day ago and got downvoted smh 

    I have and still have the effects of this that is how I knew

  26. McClellanWasABitch
