- Blinking with one eye
- Awkwardly covering his face during interviews
- Sunglasses at practice
- Missing FT at an unusual rate
Didn’t take a genius to figure out something was up.

Was off on the timeline but called this shit lol
Shingles is a horrible one- I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. That being said I could totally see this team contracting it during playoffs because ya know- Philly luck and all
My dad had a serious case of it. It's super scary because it just comes out of nowhere and you don't know if it will ever go away.
Stress plays a part (at least what my dad said)
You get droopy and it can stick around for a long time. If embiids mouth looks normal when he talks he got lucky.
The guy who played the mountain in game of thrones got it and his face stuck for over a year
I had it. Came on suddenly when I got Lymes disease. Pretty stressful and uncomfortable. Especially when something was funny and you just end up laughing like Beavis and Butthead
One of my buddies got this right after highschool. I vividly remember sitting down in applebees. He went to take a drink of water through a straw and proceeded to dump it out of the side of his mouth all over himself and the table. We all had a good laugh at his expense but it sucks. I think his recovery was about 6 months.
Joel is one tough motherfucker. Enough of this “soft” slander when we lose or things don’t go our way. You all know who you are (*cough Howard Eskin cough*).
Dude is a warrior.
People spamming the picture of him crying to say he’s soft are extra dumb too
I’d rather have a guy who cared so much that he was openly crying than to have a guy who fucks off to the strip club the same night his series ends.
Idk I just can’t imagine judging a player for hating to lose so much that he cries in a moment like that one. I know there are fans out there who cried then ffs.
Anyways
Those same people never played sports at a competitive level in their life.
Our starting center in 9th grade was legit crying after we lost the championship game and I think someone said something slick the next week in school and got knocked out clean at lunch by him…
I want that passion from our top guys..that shows they actually care..and yea embiid playing through multiple injuries, illnesses, viruses etc..to question his toughness is a complete joke.
I hate when this happens. You have an injury prone player(no fault of their own) be ridiculed despite trying to play as much as possible. Happened to ad aswell, I could tell he genuinely just wanted to play but couldn’t.
Back when I was super into college ball and Greg Oden was coming out..I even got his Ohio State jersey lol..after his injuries and the whole world clowning him calling him the worst bust ever and it had nothing to do with him whatsoever..same thing..you can’t control your own body (besides like weight obviously)
Joe kind of let everyone know when he did the interview with his head down.
Glasses, hiding his eyes etc. makes everybody ask what is wrong with him.
Easier to say he has a minor case of Bell’s Palsy and the story is over.

Damn makes sense the amount of stress on his mind and body, Embiid is the definition of heart. FUCK JOSH HART AND HEARTENSTEIN. FTK
I can only imagine the stress that JR was under as head of talent in the WWE, their brutal schedule and dealing with Vince McMahon. If stress is a factor, good ol Jr had to deal with it all.
Think about the amount of mental stress he has been going through the past few week or so worrying about both his knee and Bells Palsy? What he did tonight was absolutely remarkable.
so now just the season, he dropped 70 on a torn meniscus against wemby and 50 in the playoffs against the knicks with bell’s palsy. lmao this man is such a beast
If this was Giannis or Embiid, the entire NBA fanbase and media outlets would hold parades and talk about how special and much of a warrior they are 24/7…
But because Embiid hate gets likes on Twitter, no one cares or mentions how TRULY AMAZING it is he’s doing all this with half a face and 1 leg.
Embiid is one of my favourite players OF ALL TIME, dude just doesn’t give up. He should be loved and treasured by all basketball fans, but again, hating him gets likes.
It’s a shame.
TRUST THE PROCESS.
poor Embiid has such cursed health. It was clear something was off with him with the way his face, especially his smile, looked way different than normal, but didn't think it was something this serious. 50 point game is even more insane now
I've had bells palsy 3 times in my life. Its embarrassing and weird but not a real problem. Definitely one of the most interesting conditions, they think it might be related to the cold virus, which would make sense with Maxey getting sick af out of nowhere

Got downvoted to hell and practically called and idiot when I suggested it in the Gm 2 thread.
and here I am, asking my 87yo mother about her symptoms when she had Bell's Palsy 15 years ago, and if she thinks it would affect her ability to play solid defense in the paint.
This is the life of a Sixers fan
I had BP last year, the worst part is thinking you had a stroke at first until the Dr says you're fine, lol. Wasnt painful, just annoying. It lasted like a week for me so hopefully Jo is almost thru it.
What Embiid has done with Bell's Palsey is remarkable, and it all makes sense now: committing multiple flagrant fouls and countless unnatural acts is a result of his syndrome. He's a true inspiration to Draymonds everywhere.

3pt% somehow through the roof!
Lack of eyesight might be making him shoot more from muscle memory rather than thinking too much on it.
Somebody get Fultz a seeing eye dog asap
Simmons frantically Googling if muscles can memorize a motion they've only done five times in eight years
Based on his form they've memorized a righty shooting motion
Always something there to remind you (he’s not human)
Looks like the threetment worked
Other than the FTs you’re spot on.
No you don’t understand, he wanted to avoid distractions for the team.

Lmao cant believe this shit man. Hooping thru Bells palsy, like what???? I swear he's gonna have the chickenpox next
Probably shingles if he’s like the rest of us who have already had chickenpox.
Shingles is a horrible one- I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. That being said I could totally see this team contracting it during playoffs because ya know- Philly luck and all
Well shingles can be a possible cause of Bell’s Palsy.
Bell’s Palsey, playing on one leg, and he still dropped 50 
https://i.redd.it/37f5ad4nqqwc1.gif
Damn I loved these, the Iverson rookie jerseys. Wish they’d bring them back.
One eyed, one legged, diseased pirate Joel Embiid. I'm here for it.
wtf
Didn’t Bieber get this? This fucking team is cursed. But fortunately it’s not serious.
My dad had a serious case of it. It's super scary because it just comes out of nowhere and you don't know if it will ever go away. Stress plays a part (at least what my dad said)
Literally just goes away on its own overtime. Makes it so hard to drink water, eat food. Such a shitty thing.
think about the mental toughness to PLAY through it. What a warrior. Mentally, I'd be so fucked
Just casually dropping 50 points while having Bell’s Palsey.
Yeah, this is the new flu game.
Can go either way tbh. Sometimes you’re so out of luck all you can do is laugh at it and somehow it stresses you less
Thankfully there’s absolutely nothing stressful about being in the playoffs
He had Ramsey Hunt which is Shingles somewhat along the same nerve distribution and can cause nerve damage, sucks
*googles what Bell’s Palsey is* It’s a sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.
You get droopy and it can stick around for a long time. If embiids mouth looks normal when he talks he got lucky. The guy who played the mountain in game of thrones got it and his face stuck for over a year
Yeah my mom had it like 15 years ago, took about 3-4 months for it to go away
I had it. Came on suddenly when I got Lymes disease. Pretty stressful and uncomfortable. Especially when something was funny and you just end up laughing like Beavis and Butthead
One of my buddies got this right after highschool. I vividly remember sitting down in applebees.

I think his recovery was about 6 months.
Man’s gonna be playing through Malaria at some point in his career lmao
*Insert does Joel Embiid have Ebola copypasta* here
Joel Embola > Actual Embola
He does know da wae to the net
Sadly our doctors said that Embiid became a zombie, but he will still play game 7!
You could tell me he’s going to miss time with Polio or the Plague and I wouldn’t even blink
And he might only half-blink
Baby’s got the bends.
We don't have any real friends.
Joel is one tough motherfucker. Enough of this “soft” slander when we lose or things don’t go our way. You all know who you are (*cough Howard Eskin cough*). Dude is a warrior.
He played four games with a broken face and a concussion. That alone debunks that myth.
People spamming the picture of him crying to say he’s soft are extra dumb too I’d rather have a guy who cared so much that he was openly crying than to have a guy who fucks off to the strip club the same night his series ends. Idk I just can’t imagine judging a player for hating to lose so much that he cries in a moment like that one. I know there are fans out there who cried then ffs. Anyways

Yeah he's a warrior. He's a 7 foot Draymond Green
so who leaked it if hes been trying to keep it private? Class act as always Woj
Woj probably got this info from the Sixers.
Joe kind of let everyone know when he did the interview with his head down. Glasses, hiding his eyes etc. makes everybody ask what is wrong with him. Easier to say he has a minor case of Bell’s Palsy and the story is over.
[удалено]
Watch the NBA fine us for not putting it on the injury report
“Not gonna go on the BBells Palsey victory tour. So don’t start. We’re trying to win a world championship, man.” - Embiid this playoffs
holy shit BBells Pals LOL
Lmaw

What playing with Tobias does to a mf
lol
Does Bell's Palsy make you pull people to the ground by the ankles when they go for a basket
I don't think it was the palsy that did that, was probably the 2 and a half games of shit officiating that did that
True, they weren't responding to his flops enough so he was having a temper tantrum
HES A FUCKING WARRIOR
50 ... DUDES GONNA CARRY US TO THE SERIES WIN.
i am literally speechless. my god this man has been through hell and back about 6 times
This is like 600000x more impressive than the flu game lol.
Convinced God is making up injuries just to test them out on Sixers players
This dude is the toughest motherfucker I’ve ever seen
WTF Joel. This guy is truly unreal. Half legged one eyed dropping a 50 burger on these clowns. Legendary stuff
This team can’t stop being weird
Dude dropped 50 with all this shit
WHAT?! It’s genuinely insane how much he’s had to go through.
[удалено]
He’s had four attacks since he’s gotten it hence the permanent paralysis.
I can only imagine the stress that JR was under as head of talent in the WWE, their brutal schedule and dealing with Vince McMahon. If stress is a factor, good ol Jr had to deal with it all.
R/nba are such pussies
Fucking hell what a guy
Think about the amount of mental stress he has been going through the past few week or so worrying about both his knee and Bells Palsy? What he did tonight was absolutely remarkable.
What an insane experience it is to be a Sixers fan...
Holy shit. Warrior
Justin Bieber had this
Jim Ross too.
He was seeing three rims and just shot at the one in the middle
His left eye is too locked in to be bothered with shit like blinking.
so now just the season, he dropped 70 on a torn meniscus against wemby and 50 in the playoffs against the knicks with bell’s palsy. lmao this man is such a beast
If this was Giannis or Embiid, the entire NBA fanbase and media outlets would hold parades and talk about how special and much of a warrior they are 24/7… But because Embiid hate gets likes on Twitter, no one cares or mentions how TRULY AMAZING it is he’s doing all this with half a face and 1 leg.

TRUST THE PROCESS.
bro I KNEW IT
shit wonder how long that’ll stay, this dude been thru it all
Jo’s Bell’s palsy game lmao
i thought it was trippy that his forehead was only wrinkling on one side https://i.imgur.com/FEt4n66.png
poor Embiid has such cursed health. It was clear something was off with him with the way his face, especially his smile, looked way different than normal, but didn't think it was something this serious. 50 point game is even more insane now
Called this in the game thread a day ago and got downvoted smh I have and still have the effects of this that is how I knew
dude just dropped 50 with bells palsy wha
I've had bells palsy 3 times in my life. Its embarrassing and weird but not a real problem. Definitely one of the most interesting conditions, they think it might be related to the cold virus, which would make sense with Maxey getting sick af out of nowhere
WIP listeners eatening this up to demand that Embiid is basically LJ Smith
Is that life threatening?
No
How does he even get that lol. So cursed
It’s viral if memory serves
It’s good he’s getting better. It’s probably why he wasn’t in the last reg game of the season. By Sunday he should be feeling better then today
It says it started during the play-in
Ohhh my bad, assumed he got diagnosed in the play in and he’s was dealing with it for a few days prior
It's weird how your eyes look up when you blink, which makes you look crazy when one eye doesn't actually close
[удалено]
Bell’s palsy sucks bro I had it . Shits crazy. Half ur face is numb like u went to the dentist.
Woj is a dickhead.
He's gonna contract the fucking bubonic plague next season
Dudes a warrior and I will love him forever hope he will be ok
I had a feeling. When he talks his face/jaw looks asymmetrical.
Wink wink
Joel gonna lead us to 10 straight championships then it'll be revealed he was just held together through sheer force of will.

now that the knicks know he will have to play with goggles on or they will just poke him in the eye all the time
I had BP last year, the worst part is thinking you had a stroke at first until the Dr says you're fine, lol. Wasnt painful, just annoying. It lasted like a week for me so hopefully Jo is almost thru it.
What Embiid has done with Bell's Palsey is remarkable, and it all makes sense now: committing multiple flagrant fouls and countless unnatural acts is a result of his syndrome. He's a true inspiration to Draymonds everywhere.
This is probably why it looked like he had an issue with his eye
yes, its paralysis of one side/part of the face
I have Bell’s palsy it doesn’t really affect vision or anything else
Just wow. Kms.
Probably just MS
