CAMDEN, N.J. — The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a tough blow early in the Game 6 loss to the Miami Heat when they lost Danny Green to a knee injury in the first quarter. Joel Embiid fell into his knee and he immediately left the game.
The Sixers missed Green’s ability to shoot the ball and be able to spread the floor and just his presence out on the court with the team. They were not able to be the same team and with the offseason now here, the attention now turns to the severity of his injury.
Green spoke about the injury at exit interviews on Friday and he discussed the injury.
“I’m very hopeful,” he said. “It doesn’t feel as bad as it looked, I guess. They think it’s going to be some ligament damage. Hopefully, it’s not major ligaments. I think the major ones feel intact, they look pretty good, I don’t know. I’m talking as if I’m a doctor, but I’m not, but it’s just pretty much nothing moreso the outside of the knee.”
That can be some good news for Green. He is still waiting for the results of the MRI he had, but it would be big for Philadelphia if the veteran can be all set to go when the 2022-23 season begins due to him being a very important piece to the team.
