Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid fighting through Bell's palsy amid NBA playoffs

Joel Embiid, star center for the Philadelphia 76ers, revealed on Thursday that he has been battling through a Bell's Palsy diagnosis for the past 10 days, playing through the diagnosis as the Sixers feel their backs against the wall.

Embiid shared the news of his condition with the media after Game 3's 125-113 win by Philly.

Bell's Palsy leads to partial paralysis of the face. In Embiid's case, the left side of his face has been affecting him during the ongoing series against the New York Knicks.
