Embid kept it to himself so that his teammates wouldn't worry... whole time the internet was roasting him. Respect to him, prayers up!

Even as an embiid hater he gets my respect. Playing through any type of palsy is nutty to say the least

Everyone was roasting him at first, now people wanna show fake love, hope he gets well soon prayers to him

That’s why he covered his face in the last interview.

Prayers up for Embiid!! Health is wealth ❤️

I had Bells Palsy at 13 on the left side of my face. My smile is still crooked from it, it’s a wild disease. But it’ll go away in the few weeks.

Legend. The Bells Palsy 50 game. That jab-step is lethal.

I had it too....get well bro bro

Joel is one tough SOB and I will never deny that he’d do just about anything to win. That’s the number one quality an athlete can have

Injuries and health this only man's problem putting up 50 on one leg is crazy

And, to think: All these idiotic talking heads on TV and no-name jokers online across the Web judged this man, even attacking his personal character as a leader, based on what, loudmouth nonsense and crude assumptions? A _lot_ of people owe Embiid an apology on this. Dude was dealing with more than he wanted to let on, for the team's sake.

Hate him all you want, the dude can ball

❤ so much love my Beloved was hit by it 20 yrs ago He is my Rock you will be fine..not the same but FINE.

Embiid is a soldier. I hope the bad knee holds up.

Safe and effective strikes again.

dont like Embiid but i respect him for dropping 50 while having that

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Embid warrior

Sending prayers your way Embiid. Stay positive ❤

My pops had this before he got better in a couple weeks

I had Bells Palsy when I was pregnant with my twins. They were pressed up against nerves that caused the symptoms. Once I had them, my face went back to normal. Praise God I thought I had a stroke. Very scary

LOL at the thumbnail, he’s like 😎

Joel The Machine !!

Pokey Okey pokey

Now I understand why he didn’t want to look the camera on that last interview.

Nah that’s tuff

It sucks you’re dealing with that but you’re a soldier for dealing with all that and still playing hard

Heal up ma boi 🤲🏿🤲🏿

Stuff like this being normalized. like another day in the park. the best athletes in the world just getting this is weird. Our environment is doing something. Gluten allergies all over bow every kid has it. All these diseases now are normal. The chemicals in food the water the plastics the forever chemicals. Stuff we dont even realize is affecting us and generations developing all this new stuff is crazy. Its normal he said...im 50 and played sports lived life in different countries plus all over the states have never seen or heard about this before. Same thing Bieber had right? Uts like a mini stroke right in front of our eyes. If its normal what other athletes have had this?

He’s so good, he can do everything at that center position, might be the most skilled ever

I could care less about someone’s health who actively tries to injure others countless times. Pulling on someone’s ankle while they’re mid air isn’t a basketball move. It’s a dirty move and Embiid needs to be called out for being a dirty player his whole career.

Bro, he needs to rest for him and his future.This crazy. NBA should step in but its a business

Thats a warrior right there

I would be surprised if he can go for another 8 years with that body and that injury history. It probably gets worse, not better.

Atleast its cureable.

He got vaccinated. Thats what happened

Respect

Hope you get well

Had it and it recovered in about 2 weeks I regained motion and within a month 100% was a very terrible time

🙏🏽

Maaaannnn Embid get out of Philly. The messed up Fultz got rid of him. Broke Ben Simmons and got rid of him. Now physically killing this man slowly for a playoff series, smh.

8 years left?!?!

Doctors are baffled. We're all in this together

Had it twice, super annoying, can’t believe he plays this good while still dealing with Bell’s palsy

Dam

Scoring 50 with that condition is wild

Now if the doctors can treat his terminal case of blameitonothersitis.

I had Bells Palsy in my 20's. It's super scary, one side of your face just doesn't move. Very scary when it happens and this was before the Internet so I had no idea what was wrong. I thought maybe I had a stroke. Any ways Dr said it was Bells Palsy. I think I got a steroid pack. I can't remember it was 35-40 years ago. It goes away in most people in 2-3 weeks but some people it never goes away. It's extremely scary. It doesn't hurt, you can't feel anything other than you face doesn't move on one side. It's pretty common. Nothing wrong with him, it's something we all can get. He should be ok in 2 weeks. But definitely very fucking scary when it's your face and Knowing some people don't have it go away.

It’s odd the timing of it ALL

Kyrie Irvin and Aaron Rodgers do not have these issues.

This just doesn't happen and the frequency since 2020 alarming....

Thats why he was blinking with one eye. Scary.

Philly superhero..f the Knicks and their shameful fans

Flagrant 2…. Anyone else in the league would’ve got it, dirty player, will never win a chip for Philly.

Is it safe for him to play with that ?

🛐🙏🙏

But he was glitched right? He was a clone right .? Man people say the dumbest things sometimes

Basketball Gods Don’t Reward Dirty Players

Bells palsy is linked to 4 different types of viral infections which is herpes simplex, herpes zoster, hiv, and aids ... which 1 he got 🤔

Cut it out he takin them T shots before the game to be able to play😂those are side effects he experiencing iykyk

I thought it gets triggered by hitting a nerve like going to dentist and they make a mistake- that said could he be getting therapy shots a bam! Hit a nerve by mistake and voila he gets this? 😅

I’m a Knicks fan, but this dudes a Beast!

Nba forced shot on him

Really worrying hope he will be OK! Does anyone know if he was vaccinated?

Why do he have sunglasses on. He's glitching

Damn…if this isn’t a sign from God that he doesn’t want to Philly to win shit…then I don’t know what the fuck is. The last 6-7 years, this franchise has been through more chaos than most franchises have dealt with in their whole existence. And I say this with respect, not trying to diss anybody here.

Get well king, but you need to let the world know exactly what caused this

Dirty

The jab?

A little "Jab" will do you in...

Don't forget to get your booster

That VACCINE kicking in.

8 years left of what?

COVID vaccine injury

It's his punishment for wearing sunglasses indoors & @ night!!

Dude can we just get 1 healthy embiid playoff run? Shit's not fair. Biggest what-if of this generation, all respect to the derrick roses and the like. Edit: Why tf yall acting like I don't care about his health? I'm trying to be sympathetic to his frustration that he literally mentions in the quote 🤦‍♂️ That's the point of my comment. I wish he didn't have such shit luck with all these injuries and now a nerve condition? Like why tf this gotta happen to one of the best players ever? Wish him all the health in the world, for the sake of his life, *and* for the sake that he probably wants to win basketball games.

Did he get the jabs

Thats bull shit😂😂😂 More like dude is so doped up that his face has gone numb. You telling me he caught bells palsy during the playoffs and it should be gone soon?

Pfiz3r side effect is bells palsy. Same as Bieber.

You know who doesn’t have Bells Palsy? Kyrie Irving and Jonathan Isaac.

💉💉💉💉

He should be treated for severe flopping.

I saw his eyes flip & go crossed . This is a cover up

Dirty player loved by the NBA.. average 20 free throws a game through his basketball career ....

He should retire save his body.

Does that explain his behavior? He committed two flagrant, one which would have led to an ejection in a non playoff game, and incessantly whined and cried about the refs, meanwhile he got more free throws than the entire Knicks team. What a bush league player.
