Sixers fans held their breath when tow of their biggest stars crashed into each other during Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.
It happened early in the second quarter when Markelle Fultz was attempting to drive to the basket, but accidentally crashed head-first into Embiid who was attempting to hand the ball off to him. The Sixers big man immediately hit the floor.

Embiid eventually got up, and the team later announced he was ruled out for the game with a facial bruise.
