Nick Nurse shared positive news on Joel Embiid’s injury scare during Tuesday’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Detroit Pistons.

Every time Joel Embiid takes a tumble, Philadelphia 76ers fans reach a state of paranoia, considering the big man’s past with injuries. Lately, each fall has worried everybody, as the Sixers’ big man just returned to the floor after an eight-week recovery period.

Since taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder last Tuesday, Embiid has appeared in all but one of the Sixers’ last five games. After getting a night off against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, Embiid suited up against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.

The seven-time All-Star had a solid outing en route to a comfortable 76ers victory. However, it didn’t come without an infamous scare.

As Embiid chased after a ball that was headed out of bounds, he had an awkward fall after he planted his foot down to avoid stepping out of bounds. His facial expression looked like a player that was hurting on impact. When he fell and grabbed at his knee, the Wells Fargo Center went silent for a moment.

“He went down pretty awkwardly there and it looked like it was a little painful,” Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said after the game.

Where was his worry-level? Not high for long.

“He went right to his normal spot during the timeout so he wasn’t coming out,” the head coach added. “It was just a scary moment for him and everybody else too.”

Without a trip to the locker room, Embiid was able to get right back out on the floor to help the Sixers finish off the Pistons. He played his full 36-minute shift, scoring 37 points while adding 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and two blocks.

The Sixers defeated the Pistons 120-102, which was the primary goal of the night. They can feel great about the fact that they managed to get Embiid a normal amount of playing time while avoiding a legitimate setback with his knee.

“I think he’s ok,” Nurse said of Embiid.
