Daily News | Joel Embiid wears brace to protect injured thumb during Sixers practice, but expected to play in Saturday’s Game 4
TORONTO — Joel Embiid continued to wear a soft brace on his right hand and wrist to protect his thumb during Friday’s 76ers practice, but coach Doc Rivers did not express any concern that the injury will keep the MVP finalist out of Saturday’s Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Raptors.
Embiid, who did not speak to the media following Friday’s practice, led the league in scoring during the regular season, while adding 11.7 rebounds and a career-high 4.2 assists per game. In the first three games of the series against the Raptors, he has averaged 27.7 points on 51% shooting, 13 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
The reaction by Green’s teammates, however, was not exactly part of the plan. Harden, Embiid and Tyrese Maxey all lightly pushed Green to physically separate him from officials to prevent him from being ejected for picking up a second technical.
