On pace for their best season and first conference championship in two decades, the Philadelphia 76ers are suddenly “praying” for the health of their best player.
Joel Embiid scored 23 points but departed midway through the third quarter following an apparent hyperextended left kne in the 76ers’ 127-101 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.
