What a rough night for Joel Embiid all around on Friday. Sure, the Philadelphia 76ers superstar returned from injury to play in Game 3 against the New York Knicks.
But he only hit 41.2 percent from the field including 0-for-4 in a loss to the Knicks that puts the Sixers on the brink in the seven-game series, with Philly now down 3-0.
And there’s more: Mitchell Robinson posterized him with a dunk, and Getty’s Jesse D. Garrabrant captured a photo in which Embiid’s face was hilarious. Fans everywhere were laughing so hard at it, so here’s a roundup of some posts on X (formerly Twitter):
