Sixers’ Danny Green out for rest of Game 6 vs. Heat due to knee injury

Sixers’ Danny Green out for rest of Game 6 vs. Heat due to knee injury

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers are facing elimination on Thursday against the Miami Heat at home in Game 6 and they need all hands on deck to prevent it. For them to be successful on offense, they will need the floor to be spaced for the heavy lifters.

A big reason the floor gets spaced is the presence of Danny Green. The 13-year veteran has been big for the Sixers with his shooting ability and his mere presence on offense makes things easier for Philadelphia on a regular basis.

However, early in Game 6, Green had Joel Embiid fall on his leg and he was in serious pain. He was on the ground for a long time and had to be carried to the locker room. The injury is serious enough that he will not return to the game and will have an MRI.

Per Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sixers have serious concerns about the severity of Green’s injury.

While the Sixers have some depth to replace Green in Game 6, it will be tough to replace him as the playoffs continue, if they do, for Philadelphia.
