Spooky moment in Game 3 of the Sixers vs Celtics, Joel Embiid accidentally steps on Grant William’s head before falling to the ground, Boston forward miraculously escapes serious injury, left with a souvenir…open nose.
Grant Williams has every reason to feel lucky. The Celtics forward miraculously escaped a serious injury in Boston’s Game 3 against the Sixers after being involved in an incredibly weird – and scary – phase with Joel Ebine in which the Philadelphia star accidentally stepped on his head!
The game was midway through the fourth quarter when Embiid attempted to catch a James Harden pass, drawing a foul from Jaylen Brown. However, in a strange twist, Brown and Williams dove together after the whistle to get the ball, with Embiid losing his balance, spinning around and falling to the ground trying to avoid them.
The detail; In order not to hit himself, he accidentally stepped on William’s head in a terrifying moment. Williams immediately clutched his face and looked in pain as his nose bled. However, it was the repetition of the phase that startled everyone, as everyone realized what had happened. Fortunately for everyone, however, the Celtics forward avoided serious injury and even continued playing.
