The 76ers medical staff needs to be investigated...
Agreed
Why?
@@DonKey496 lol all their draft picks during " the process" all had major medical issues.
For not putting the health of their player 1st
He got hit in the eye during the game. How is that the medical staff's fault?
Anybody else notice themselves blinking during this video lol
100% 😂😂🤣
😂yep
seeing embiid wink for five minutes straight id be surprised if you didn't wink a few times. 😉😉
@@stubborndreams I was wondering if he was trying to do some sort of Morse code. “Help me”
Yes!
He needs to stop at the auto parts store for blinker fluid.
😂😂😂
they should sell eyedrops in auto shops just so they make a sale when someone gets that prank
@@mikealaniz7236 I think some stores that have a sense of humor started selling blinker fluid. In one prank video a girl came out with a gallon of pink fluid that said "blinker fluid" really big on the front and everyone was shocked.
OMG IS THAT JDSVARIETYCHANNEL!?!?!?!(SNORT) 🐽
@@mikealaniz7236this is lowkey genius
That's why he didn't look up in his post game interview.
Nah the knicks.. knicks fans and MSG just has him shook and shivering
@@carmine_lmaoo 🤣
@@carmine_ Can't argue with that! Go NY Go NY Go!!!
@@carmine_that seems accurate go knicks go knicks
He was also wearing sunglasses in pregame warm ups I’ve heard. So I do think he’s trying to hide it as much as he can. Bizarre.
philly should hire you as their medical staff because they've always been hiding information
They hide it as a competitive advantage. They only have to list the injury by rule if he has any chance to miss the game because of it. I think I first saw this when bron hurt his hand in the finals after smashing something after game 1 Jr smith.
@@isaacw6900 what advantage is that if he’s injured again? He’s the most injury prone dude in the league. It makes no difference even if it was to keep it a secret.
@@isaacw6900no they hide because they’re cheap incompetent scumbags
@@1kbmahan dude was basically fine before kuminga fell on his leg and caused him to officially need surgery on it. He was actually dunking the ball.
Too many guys are focused on trying to act tough instead of listening to their body and not resting.
I have NEVER BLINKED MY EYES SO MUCH in 9 minutes
I can't stop consciously blinking now!!!
Exactly! Like testing testing 😂
😭😭😭😭
The little things we take for granted right. Just like when we get sick and can't breath out of our nose it's like FUCK. & The first time you could breath out of it again it's an AHHHHHH moment lol
lololololol
Went from Embiid to Embid
👁⚫see what you did there
Yo😂😂😂 chill man
Not funny at all , but I chuckled
witty 😂
😅😅
Bell’s Palsey. I had a bout of it about 7 years ago. It’s stressful and embarrassing, but he will recover. The big deal is that bell’s palsey is a cry for help that the body has. Personally, mine was caused by ultra high blood sugar and resulted in my type 2 diabetes diagnosis and ultimately lead for my getting help for my diabetes and the bell’s palsey healed when my sugar went down to normal. Bell’s palsey isn’t always for diabetes, but is a warning bell that something serious is going on. He needs to get a total physical, separate from a physical for sports.
That doesn't seem like bell's palsey to me. It appears to ONLY be the eye that's affected. The rest of that side of the face seems fine. Not to mention it was triggered by trauma.
EDIT: OP is correct. He hid it well but there is evidence of it affecting the mouth/nose and they confirmed he's being treated for it.
@@JJFX- Trauma can cause bell’s palsey. But I haven’t studied his face. I hope he doesn’t have Bell’s palsy and it’s just a short term issue. It wouldn’t surprise me that it’s already healed and turned out to be nothing, since he is an elite athlete. But having experience with Bell’s palsy, personally, that’s what it looked like to me. Bell’s palsy is progressive to an extent, and until it is treated with ice/heat and steroids. If it does turn out to be Bell’s palsy, he will just need to wear a mask similar to someone with a broken nose, to protect the eye. I hope Bell’s palsy is the worst case scenario, because it’s just inconvenient, but recoverable.
You the GOAT iguess
@@JJFX-comment aged like 🥛
@@dueyeoeodb Yeah it's really weird how well he's been able to hide it. If I saw the mouth and nose I obviously wouldn't have said that.
I thought he was having a stroke or something. How is it not alarming ?! If I see this on my wife or my father, I would freak out and rush to the ER
I understand your concern, but the mere mentioning of a problem with your head, will trigger the concussion protocol and take you out for a game, it could and in Embiid's case will swing a playoff series, sixers have no chance if Embiid doesn't play (they barely have a chance to win when he plays), there is no way any (important) player would admit this type of problem in the playoffs, not just professional pride, how well you play in playoffs is directly tied to the contracts you can sign in the future, it can be tens of millions of dollars at steak.
Nah just super zooted on horse tranq.
Probably because they literally have doctors right there indicating that he is not.
@@YpsitheFlintsider I remember Doctor in Celtic said Isaiah Thomas is fine even thought he got abused by Painkillers then after his body endurance getting more and more lower, Celtics discard him.
So nah, i dont trust doctor who have Incentives to use Semantics of 'he is fine' for money.
Agreed! It's strange it hasn't been mentioned much at all.
Embiid has had injuries to this side of his face several seasons ago. I remember he wore a phantom mask during the playoffs, and reinjured the same side when he collided with Fultz at one time which sideline him. Perhaps that's the cause of that
That makes sense, but this reaction would be appearing years ago not right now so is something no related to that one
He broke or fractured his orbital bone. Cant remember which exactly.
@@RomnysGonzalezUnless if this collision re aggravated an old issie
same eye th-cam.com/video/UwbGZ6OYT-k/w-d-xo.html
Why everyone acting like we don't know he a clone 🤖
Emiid got my respect . Bro playing on 1 leg n with 1 eye
He's either fit enough to play or he aint. Stop moping around limping and stuff Embiid, you excuse making helmet.
Embiid deserves zero respect.
@@DC-uf6ve youve probably called out sick for a cold.
@@mattiej2311 2-0. Knicks in 4. Eat it up son.
@@DC-uf6ve i remember when i had this level of confidence in the phillies against a far worse Arizona dbacks team. look how that panned out.
to be barely beating a hobbled, sick team on your home court with the NBA officials on your side (L2M report confirms it), and to be talking this confidently...just be ready for the heartbreak.
Not an injury, it’s the Horse tranquilizers taking effect. That man can’t feel his damn face😂
😂😂😂😂 i
Fr he prob on an ungodly amount of painkillers just to play that game 😂
Or he’s having a stroke
LUL... the last time I saw that face someone was on their back on that Special K, so you might be right 😂
😂😂😂
76ERS MEDICAL STAFF REALLY NEED TO TAKE EMBIID TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!
😂 fr
Exactly
Facts...this is serious, though you got to give him credit for being out there for his team.
Markell fultz shooting movment wasnt a long time ago ... Who knows whats going on there
I'm sure he's been examined by an ophthalmologist. Hospitals aren't magic: it's the physicians and the equipment. Pro athletes have access to whatever they need. Even an MRI or CT scan would not diagnose this: it is a simple neurological exam and ophthalmological exam. I'm sure he's had that.
One leg.. one eye.. 30 points.. Embiid is different
That was my signature shot playing h.o.r.s.e when I was 8.
30 shots+10 fts
0 rebounds in the 4th QT.
1-9 from three
@@user-bf8um5oj9q yeah playoff embiid baby at this point trade him and rebuild its not meant to Em Beed
I’m a MS4 highly interested in Sports Medicine (orthopedics) and I love your videos. Almost like a quick pertinent anatomy review every time!
MS4? Medical School 4 years?
As a Knick fan Embiid is a damn warrior guys got my respect
I expect nothing less from y'all given that Willis Reed won y'all a chip on one leg 😂
we found him, the most wholesome Knicks fan.
Fr though, either way this series goes I'm fine with. Thib is an amazing coach and needs more credit
Agreed! Man came back in game 1 that was crazy! Warrior effort!
msg shouting f embid him dealing with the injuries nd still dropping 30 pts in the two games u have to respect that but still LGK
Nah respect to Embiid…. He’s fearless fr… but let’s go Knicks!!!!
I'm not a medical professional, so I wouldn't feel right saying it's definitely Bell's Palsy. I will say, that with the way he's acting and the way his face is and isn't working, it highly reminds me of how I felt/acted and what my face was doing when my BP first hit. So, at the very least, I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's BP, or some other kind of nerve damage that caused a similar effect.
Wow, that's very interesting about Embiid keeping his head down while being interviewed after the game.
Because Charles Barkley was criticizing him for doing that. Saying that Embid should be more confident in order to encourage his team to bounce back after the loss..
When in reality, Joel was embarrassed when facing the cameras because of this freakish condition!
You might be right on this... it certainly didn't seem characteristic of him to have his head down like that.
Not embarrassed but I think light bothers him, before game 2 he was even wearing sunglasses
Nothing to do with with embarrassment. Everything to do with light sensitivity.
The fact that he is still dominant is insane
Id say still very effective... if he was healthy theyd be 2-0
for real
but that's not the series. the series is can the Sixers with a hurt Embiid beat the Knicks without randle. go sixers@@mikealaniz7236
He wasn't though
@@tommydavidwalker2445 OK clearly not at his peak...but 29/8/6 and 34/10/6 with half of his face paralyzed, and unable to blink. Come on
would be surprised if he even makes it to game 4, they need to shut him down to preserve the rest of his career. great insight doc!
no pun intended 😎
He only has so much time left to try to lead a team through the playoffs. And he's not gonna be more healthy as he ages.
@@veganpottertheveganshould be building a team around him then. Not draft busts, max contract bum players and expiring contract bums
@sinsoreshippromotesconform8218 nobody drafts busts on purpose😂 And Simmons was incredible while he played. That said, they don't have great assets after trading for Harden. Want them to trade Maxey?
@@veganpotterthevegan teams do draft busts on purpose when there is far better options. Go back to poor scouting. Also max contracts to bum players and not building around Embiid effectively like the bucks, nuggets, and celtics
I caught that live on the telecast. I thought i was tripping
Me too! I was like GD i need to put this weed down
😂
Good eye 😜
@@RT-qz5ci same here
I think it's Bell's Palsy, I saw his nose and that side of his mouth not moving as well, you can see it when he talks out of one side of his mouth (although his eye seems more affected). He tries to hide it, as can be seen by the fact he wears sunglasses in public or looks down when speaking to the media in just the last week. The exact cause of Bell's palsy is somewhat unknown, although things like stress can increase chance they think, I imagine the stress of him coming back from yet another knee injury during playoff time contributed to chances of getting it. They'll have to make sure his eye gets frequent eye drops and maybe even specialty contacts to prevent damage from dryness. He went into the locker room after a quarter possibly for some sort of treatment there I'm guessing
It’s from the muscle relaxers and pain blockers he’s taking I think
@@SlickRickMedia this is obviously what it is people in the comments are so lost lol
@@SlickRickMediathey inject stuff in injured players, so they can play through injury
if Bell's palsy is a viral issue, what's the chances he got it from a stripper? Asking for a friend...
@@obe124it could be both I’m just saying like you can be in pain and stressed while on pain killers
He's an alien. His suit is malfunctioning.
Finally.
That's why he was injured the first two years of his career. He had to get the suit implanted in the first place.
Wemby is the 2.0 update 😂 he's only 20 he'll grow to be 8'9 before he turns 25 and then the invasion will officially begin
2 WEEKS....2 WEEKS..
@@tregainsfitness4928 Y'alls imagination is out of this world.😂
Wemby is done growing.
I blinked so much during this video.
dude HOLY SHIT YES! It totally stuck out to me as well, so glad you saw it and made a vid.
Doc always has an eye for the detail!
Badum tshhhh
HA HA HEE HEE HOO HOO
A friend of mine sent me this. Thank you for this video. You went into great detail. Immediately subscribed!
It’s not just the blinking, you can see his left eye fail to track with the right eye as well. Scary stuff I hope he’s ok.
he’s dealing with so much rn health-wise. i wonder if the added stress of the playoffs exacerbates his eye problem
I’m sure it is. He’s the face of the franchise so everything is on him win or lose. He’s been under pressure for a few seasons now but it’s building more and more. He’s definitely stressed to the Max right now
Of course ,that’s one of the main reasons for it
I noticed the eye thing, too.
Not real
Bro I mentioned this in the other Embiid video. I can't stop looking at it! Great video, MD B!
Thanks for this video. I noticed both incidents too. The first one when on the ground after hard landing looked like he was in shock with eyes not in sync. Then at the second one at the free throw was more noticeable with eyes out of sync. I didn’t recall seeing this in season games…hope he gets better.
It was announce Embiid has been treated for mild case of bell's palcey since play in when they win over heat
Brian Sutterer MD. MD stands for Mc Double. It's Bell's Palsy. Confirmed by Embiid today.
He did have sunglasses on in MSG early Monday dribbling while sitting down
Context- orbital fracture in left eye about 6 years ago
"6 years ago"
@@daniell5740 yes 2017-2018 season
I assume could be a long term effect or nerve damage but it was that same eye that is now getting attention again
I was born with Ptosis and it appears his blinking is acting very similar. I'm surprised you mentioned this as most people arent aware of this. Good job with this review!
Was hoping you’d drop this vid thanks
Definitely was wondering why this was happening. Glad you caught it too
I’ve had Bells before mane you appreciate when your nerves in your face start back working
Thank you, I did notice that during the game especially the closeup when Joel was on the bench. I’m hoping Joel has spoken to at least the doctors on staff with the 76ers and that something is being done.
I caught the eye as well and said to myself, "someone in the organization has to see this." He also had a facial fracture few years back. Thanks for the insight!
He broke his orbital bone in the playoffs a few years ago…
He's broken both sides - left and right orbital bone fractures.
where is that bone??
@briansutterer Could this have anything to do with Embiids Orbital fracture that has now aggravated a cranial nerve?
My dad got bells palsy after his 2nd booster for covid. It's took 6 months for feeling to comeback in his face.
Been waiting for this for awhile. It’s creepy to watch and I don’t know how it was possible so wanted to know thanks Doc
I noticed this when Embiid was laying on the ground after his apparent knee injury after his crazy self-alley-oop dunk in game 1
Much more believable than Anthony Davis supposed eye injury
Or Jontay Porters 💀
If it's part of ADs body, you can be sure something is wrong with it. This is a massive anomaly of a season for him
Street Clothes Davis?
man is having a career season on availability lol
Embiid previously suffered an orbital fracture to his left eye and had surgery. It's really surprising that I as a casual fan know this but somehow nobody else remembers
Man you would probably be so helpful trying to find out why my wife has diplopia. So many doctor visits and so far no answers… great breakdown!
As a medical prosmessional I have personally seen this happen many times, the cause being cordyceps virus
Im a prosmessional as well😊
Put the alcohol down doc
Like the last of us? Damn
*fungus 😆
76ers medical staff are prosmessionalers as well, lol. *funny joke is intended *
Seems stress related to me and my zero medical training. I had one eye fluttering for a few weeks when I was under extreme stress.
As soon as I seen the video I had to make sure you made a video
Same thing happened to me before being diagnosed with MS…I hope they get that checked out 🙏🏽
And their season was over in the blink of an eye
There’s definitely something shady with the Philly medical staff
Every year smh….
I noticed this when he was on the ground and thought it was strange. Cool you made a video on this!
Great commentary. late in the 4th qtr. I saw him going downcourt and as he turned his his head he did the number where the rigt eye closed and the left stayed open. I hav some occular issues. first thing I think is they have to get him to an optomalogist. I am sure he drive, and that might not be a safe thing to do with the current condition.
I saw he play and #9 went up, the only thing it could been wasa n elbow. It was the only thing in proximity oof his head. I played a lot of football, and you get weird injuries, but I feel like I have seen this before. I would like to say it will heal over time, but naturally I don't know that.
That walklthrough of the occulas assembly inside the was so medical school, although I didn't uderstand half the word I could still understand what you were talking about. Play like that are band bang plays and sometime the bench doesn't see it. So, they may have only saw the aftermath.
And this where the palyer does his team and himself a disservice. He tries to hide the condition. You can imagine the struggle, and we don't know the pain or the level of pain. He doesn't want to come, because I think he thinks, it is serous enough for them to say that is enoug basketball tonight and he dos not want that.
we'll have to waait and see how it handle but we will be looking for that condition, and mor speculation on that, is if it isn't promply and correctly, it could heal in the state it is in now, and become permanent.
Embiid a great player and he’s already a NBA great with what he did achieve but this brother been through the most with injuries A rollercoaster 🎢
He got the jab guys
Bells Palsey 😢. Hope for a speedy recovery!! ❤️🩹
A lot of people after the vax had that problem. It is because the facial nerve gets trapped because of inflammation. It is called Bell's palsy.
Maybe it is a secondary effect of some medication for the knee.
It may be due to stress/anxiety. Same thing with Katy Perry a while ago
That was probably an electrolyte deficiency thing.
Sure. Believe what they say always
@@KenKaniff-dw4jw You got it, Ken.
@@KenKaniff-dw4jwI love the fact that there’s people like you in the world. It really makes us feel like geniuses by knowing basic science.
Embid has an eye injury. Katy Perry has a Neuralink side effect.
Embiid continues to contribute himself as a case study for the education of medical students around the world.
I believe it could be bell's palsy, I had a flare up last year, and my right eye wouldn't close completely and and blink sensation was gone
It's simple: The jab depleted the zeta potential of Embiid's blood. This caused a microstroke to cranial nerve 7 which paralyzes the muscles on the left side of his face.
I actually kinda feel bad for bro, his body is crazy fragile for a elite pro athlete in the middle of their prime. AD Syndome.
I thought I was tripping when I saw him blinking last night
I had this 3 months ago it’s called Bell’s palsy that shit fucking sucks but his shit is worst than mine now it makes sense why he wasn’t showing his face when doing the post game interview damn bro that shit is scary cause it can be a bunch of different reasons
This pos "doctor ",is telling people there wrong and it's not Bell's palsy, then in his next video he says it is Bell's palsy, and that's after Joel says he has been dealing with the symptoms, this "doctor",doesn't have a clue what he's talking about,!,smh
Embid and AD making sure this Chanel thrives 🙏🏼😭
Yea i noticed that i was like what the heck is he battling migrains
He’s had two orbital fractures
I’m glad we now know and sharing that injuries and pain to the body disrupt chemistry from rest of the body!
I saw on ESPN he dropped 50
and has Bell’s Palsy on the left side . he is taking eye drops to keep his eye damp
oh and it started before the play in game , so it was before he was hit in the eye , but maybe it messed up his left eye a little if it took
a hit when it couldn’t close .
fastest doctor diagnosis on youtube
They shills.
@@cuhbruh999 didnt ask u dont care what u typed
Embiid is 100% the unluckiest player to ever grace the earth
He's not even top 50 most likely.
One of the greatest centers ever to play top 5 for sure I can tell u a casual 😂
@@Lakeshow304_ The guy was talking about unluckiest players so Embiid being one greatest centers is related to that how? Players have died in car accidents and some careers have got ruined totally by inuries so I think those guys are more unluckier than Embiid. Emiid is great.
My best friend in high school had Bells Palsy. He was so insecure about it that he refused to leave the house. Joel had to go through it with people breaking down videos frame by frame.
Dr made this video only after plenty of commenters pointed out from the previous video that Embiid was blinking only on one eye. He surely missed that and focused on the knee injury.
Hes a robot now and he is glitching out thats why only 1 eye blinks now
If it was an efferent blink signal issue then when he's standing at the free throw line he should be able to voluntarily close his left eye to provide lubrication, which he doesn't do.
Perhaps an orbicularis oculi contusion from the impact
They might need to look into this.
No kidding that could be a syptom of some neurological disorder. I can't stand Embiid's flopping game but I wish him the best of health.
Where are the team doctors? Dr. Sutterer is watching videos. The team doctors are around this man daily.
I C what you did there😏👀
Wink! (No) Wink!
LMFAAAOOO 😂😂😂😂
Yoo he just need to shut it down for the season my goodness
Hey! I called this out! Thanks Doc!
Meanwhile, me:
**blinks** oh, there's another Brian Sutterer video
@Dr. Sutterer I had something similar like this happened to me where my right eye would blink, but my left eye wouldn’t and then a few days later I had Bells Palsy.
It all started with a metallic taste in my mouth, then a day later the left side of my tongue was numb. In a couple days after that I had face paralysis on my left side.
Did you heal?
To this day, about 9 months later, I still haven’t returned to 100%.
I still have a lazy blink and my upper left lip still doesn’t rise all the way when I smile.
I don’t slur anymore or have to wear swimming goggles in the shower anymore so that’s good.
@@NachitoBronco scary :(
Embid remind me of that toy where you play as a surgeon
All I can think about is that episode of Martin when his uncle Jr and cousin sunny come to visit him on thanksgiving 😂 Gina dad said not until cyclops over
There stop hitting on my wife🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t see the left side of his mouth move either. It’s giving Bells Palsy. Which I’ve had and that’s how it looks. But I’m no where near a doctor so idk 🤷🏾♂️
thanks doc for the quick and informative vids 🙏
That’s that vaccine
Thank you for this. I felt like I was in the twilight zone or something because nobody on tv was mentioning it at all
Thanks for this video. These past 2 games hes been creeping me out with the way he blinks. Ive noticed when he speaks he uses half of his mouth, its like hes a robot or something. Hopefully hes okay
Booster? There's been cases lately bout the long term effects with certain individuals developing bells palsy. Hope he's healthy tho.
He had an orbital fracture caused by Pascal Siakim like 2 years ago..would that be the reason?
6:45
Bell's Palsy is one of the strangest things you can ever get. Imagine waking up with half your face drooping. I had it and it''s so embarrassing..
After you got the shot?
have you ever thought about doing these videos on SuperCross and MotoCross racers? Plenty of content over there as well.
Half Terminator
Blackinator
Bell's palsy?
That would be affecting that whole side of his face not just the eye I believe.
@@phightinphil25You can see it's affecting his mouth when he talks and his nose in one of the clips on the left side is also not moving.
@@phightinphil25His left eye wrinkles were not moving either.
Woj just confirmed Bell's palsy on Twitter/X
