Joel Embiid experienced a left knee injury scare during the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. After an awkward landing post-dunk, Embiid briefly left the game before halftime, holding his left knee.

While he did return to play in the second half without significant issues, concerns remain about his health. Head coach Nick Nurse confirmed that the team is not considering shutting down Embiid for the season, highlighting Embiid’s determination to play through any knee problems.
