Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid dislocated his finger during the Sixers' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and had to go to the locker room to get treated.

Late in the opening quarter of the game, Embiid can be seen holding his left hand with his finger apparently bothering him. Upon closer look, it can be seen that the Sixers All-Star's left ring finger was severely dislocated, though JoJo tried to put it back in place on his own.
