Embiid’s Suffering With COVID: “I Thought He Wasn’t Telling It”

It hit me hard. I really thought it didn’t come out of this one, it was that bad. I’m so glad I can be sitting here. I suffered with it, but I am happy to have overcome it and to be able to do what I like surrounded by good people“These are the words of Joel Embiid, who returned to the rotation with the Sixers after a 20-day quarantine in which he has missed 9 games. The star has been affected by the coronavirus and he has had a pretty bad time in the process, as he revealed at a press conference.

The Sixers lost to the Timberwolves (120-121) in the third overtime in Philadelphia, with a cover performance by Embiid (42 points and 14 rebounds). The team that Doc Rivers directs is not experiencing its best moment, but it does not seem that that has diminished the talent of the Cameroonian center, who was the best of the squad and showed his face in a complicated season in which the Sixers have had many problems, Ben Simmons’ farce at the helm.

The player has also won the support of his rivals. Karl Anthony-Towns plays in the Minnesota franchise, who lost his mother and eight family members to COVID-19. “I’ve seen people die from it. I’m glad Embiid got over it“He assures. A gesture of sportsmanship and an episode that remind us how hard it is to suffer the global pandemic of the coronavirus.
