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

[jabari]

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

[dkapgaming]

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

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.

Prayers up for Embiid!! Health is wealth ❤️

[asergebs]

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

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

Hate him all you want, the dude can ball

[BrianLockett]

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.

[DMLGhoops]

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

[upfulsoul]

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

[jahallymccaskill]

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

[SOURAVEMEL]

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

[NFKTN]

[godmoney]

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

[DionMckissack]

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?

[Rickvgable]

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

[patseyjohnson]

Sending prayers your way Embiid. Stay positive ❤
