76ers star Joel Embiid’s dislocated finger grossed out players and fans alike

It wasn’t the worst thing you’ll ever see in sports, but Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid’s finger was dislocated Monday night during a game against the Oklahoma Thunder.

Embiid, the former Kansas star, was injured while guarding Steven Adams in the first quarter, didn’t seem to be in too much pain. However, he went to the locker room but returned not long after.
Muscala’s reaction was not unlike others watching the game:
