Embiid returns for 76ers in Game 3 with protective mask
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid returned for Game 3 of the playoff series against Miami after sitting out the first two games with a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion. Embiid warmed up Friday night in a protective mask as he makes his comeback with the Sixers trying to win their first game of the Eastern conference semifinal. The Heat lead the series 2-0. Kyle Lowry also returned to the starting lineup for the Miami Heat after he missed the last four playoff games with a strained left hamstring.
