There is a belief that Embiid is planning to give it a shot in Game 4, as he was spotted on the court during pregame warm-up drills an hour before game time. Embiid has been sidelined for the last three games of the series following an emergency appendectomy he underwent on April 9. If he can return for the 76ers in Game 4, he could give them a huge boost.
There's no doubt that when he's healthy, Embiid is a talented player. If he can get close to 100%, he can keep the 76ers competitive in every game. Philadelphia already pulled off a victory in Boston during Game 2 and pushed the Celtics to the limit in Game 3.
