In a playoff series of wild swings from game to game, the biggest question mark has been the condition of Embiid’s big ol’ tummy
PHILADELPHIA — When Joel Embiid was walking beneath the stands at Scotiabank Arena last Tuesday night, he looked tired, creaky and sore, like a miner coming up from the depths at the end of a long shift, and for the purposes of this analogy let us pretend that there are seven-foot miners.
Embiid looked like he was limping to the end of a season in which he had once displayed dominant form And then the Raptors did exactly that on Sunday evening, stifling Embiid while Kawhi Leonard did all of his unfathomable things, including the three-point killshot over the outstretched arm of the Philadelphia centre.
