Philadelphia 76ers: Joel Embiid To Get MRI For Shoulder Injury

Without Simmons and Embiid, the Sixers may struggle down the stretch.

Joel Embiid will receive an MRI to determine the extent of his left shoulder injury, which incurred during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers. This doesn’t bode well for the 76ers team, as Ben Simmons suffered a nerve impingement on Feb 22nd against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Sixers have 23 regular-season games before the beginning of the playoffs, and without Simmons and Embiid, the Sixers may struggle down the stretch.
