Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN reported on this situation, he said:
“Great deal of concern on the floor Philadelphia’s Tobias Harris, who appeared to hit his head/neck on the court.”
Woj further reported on the injury, saying: “Harris walked off the court on his own power, after appearing to be bleeding from the side of his head.”
Currently, it is unclear if the injury is fatal or not. But Philly has been bitten by the injury bug ever since the season resumed. These injuries have played a big role in Philly losing the first-round series against the Celtics.
Boston Celtics clean sweeps the Philadelphia 76ers
The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers clashed with each other for the last time in the NBA playoffs. The Celtics won 4-0 with little to no effort against the Ben Simmons less 76ers.
On the other hand, Boston’s trio of Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown has been performing at an elite level. Moreover, Marcus Smart has turned his defense up a notch to halt the Sixers’ offense.
As a result, no player performed well for the 76ers apart from Joel Embiid. Sixers couldn’t even manage to take a single game from the Celtics. Philly displayed poor offense but even worse defense during the entire series.
Sixers were going head to head against the Celtics and had a one-point lead after the first two quarters. Boston outscored Philly 32-19 after returning from half time break. Sixers gave it their all in the last quarter of the series. But the game had already slipped out of Philly’s hands way before the final whistle was blown.
Joel Embiid’s 30 points a night along with 12.3 boards were not enough to carry his team out of the first round in 2020 NBA playoffs.
