LOS ANGELES (AFP) – The Cleveland Cavaliers posted their fourth win in five games with a 108-94 victory on Wednesday over the Philadelphia 76ers, who lost all-star Joel Embiid to an injury.
Collin Sexton scored 28 points, Larry Nance collected 13 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, and Tristan Thompson had 14 in the win.
Embiid suffered a left shoulder sprain after colliding with Cleveland center Ante Zizic with 49 seconds left in the opening quarter.
Still smarting from the collision, the seven-foot Embiid grimaced as he missed both free throw attempts. He did not stick around and went straight to the locker room.
Embiid briefly returned to the bench in the second quarter before being taken out of the game for good at halftime.
He is expected to be examined by team doctors on Thursday to determine the extent of the problem.
