Embiid: 'F------ sick and tired of being babied'
Warning: Story contains coarse language
For the second straight game, Joel Embiid was resigned to watching his Philadelphia 76ers teammates battle the visiting Miami Heat without him.
Embiid officially cleared concussion protocol prior to Game 2, but his playoff debut was once again delayed due to his injury recovery. Without the All-Star center, the Sixers slipped to a 113-103 defeat as the Heat evened the series 1-1.
That evidently didn't sit well with Embiid, who took to Instagram to seemingly voice his displeasure with his current situation:
And, uh, Joel apparently feels the same way. pic.twitter.com/QimkcCPyd4

Embiid and the Sixers now head south, hoping to reclaim their edge in Miami. Game 3 is slated to tip off Thursday, April 19 at 7:00 p.m. ET. Embiid's return to the starting lineup, however, is still unconfirmed.
