Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid suffered an apparent injury to his left knee after an alley-oop to himself off of the backboard in the second quarter of Game 1 of the first-round between the Sixers and Knicks.

Embiid immediately went to the locker room, albeit on his own power, but immediately—and shockingly—returned to start the second half.

Embiid missed about two months with a lateral meniscus injury in that same left knee.

Embiid had an excellent first half before the injury scoring 18 points on 6-11 shooting with five rebounds and two assists.

After Embiid left the game, the Knicks went on a run extended their lead to 58-46 at the half.
