Joel Embiid Suffers Bone Bruise, Injury Timeline Revealed

Joel Embiid has consistently been one of the best players in the entire NBA this season and fans have been making a case that he should be the MVP. It’s easy to see why when you consider how the Sixers are in the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference and continue to rack up wins. Last night, Embiid made his return to the court following the fiasco at the All-Star Game, and unfortunately, it ended in what appeared to be a fairly serious leg injury.

Immediately after the game, Embiid was given an MRI to assess the damage. Based on the video above, it looked pretty bad but in the end, the damage wasn’t as horrible as expected. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Embiid suffered a bone bruise and will have to miss a total of two to three weeks. This is going to be a huge blow to the Sixers although based on the timeline, Embiid will be back soon.

With the second half of the NBA regular season on the horizon, teams will be trying extra hard for positioning in the standings. The Sixers are near the top of the East and right now, it’s between them and the Nets for first place. Without Embiid, securing that top spot will be that much harder.

Dez Bryant Confident He’s Going To The Hall Of Fame

Dez Bryant has been through a lot in his career although fans still remember him fondly for all of his contributions to the Dallas Cowboys. Bryant’s start to his career was extremely impressive and before his injuries, he was on a Hall Of Fame trajectory. Last season, Bryant came back to football and played some games with the Baltimore Ravens, where he was able to pick up a few touchdowns, all while making it clear that he can still make an impact on the field.

Recently, Bryant was interviewed by TMZ, who asked him whether or not he believes he would go to the Hall Of Fame if he retired today. With 7,506 yards and 77 touchdowns, Bryant believes he needs to be considered and that at the end of the day, he’s confident he’ll get in.

“Nobody put up TDs the way I put up,” Bryant explained. “Not as fast.” The wide receiver made sure to note that he doesn’t think he will be a first-ballot Hall Of Famer, although he is pretty sure they will let him in eventually.

Getting into the Hall Of Fame is incredibly difficult, especially for players who have been harmed by injuries. Hopefully for Bryant, however, the selection committee sees past that and evaluates him based on talent alone.

Anderson .Paak Shares An Update On Kendrick Lamar And Dr. Dre

Anderson .Paak is back in the spotlight. He recently joined forces with Bruno Mars as Silk Sonic to release their first joint single, “Leave The Door Open,” ahead of their upcoming album. The project will join a growing list of collaborations that .Paak has done with some of the industry’s best, including Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre. He worked with the former on their 2018 single, “Tints,” while the latter served as an executive producer on his 2018 album, Oxnard. In a recent sit-down with Esquire, .Paak shared an update about the two Compton-based acts.

“We talk just through texts and just off and on,” he said about Lamar. “I always check on him and the family and make sure he’s good. He’s always responsive, and just like, just let me know he’s hanging in there just like everybody else.” .Paak also had positive things to say about Dre, who suffered a brain aneurysm at the beginning of the year.

“Dre’s having a good-ass time,” he said in regards ton Dre’s quarantine life. “That’s already his life—isolation, working all the time. I think he was probably used to it. But he’s having fun now because a lot of people have more time on their hands, so they can come visit him and make music with big Uncle Dre.” As for their own collaborations, Paak said Dre has taken a step back is “letting me fly and figure it out.”

The interview also saw the Oxnard-bred act speak about his upcoming fifth album. “With this new material you’re going to get some real topics, and you’re going to get some substance, but mixed with some great grooves,” he said. .Paak also expressed his desire to collaborate with popular K-pop band, BTS.

“I’m working on trying to get that plug, man,” he said. “If you know of any way, let me know, bro.”

Bruno Mars is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
