Embiid cleared the NBA's concussion protocol on Sunday after suffering a fractured orbital bone during an injury in March.

The series is tied 1-1 after the Heat beat the Sixers 113-103 on Monday night.

Embiid wasn't happy about the loss, saying he's "F***ING sick and tired of being babied" in an Instagram post.
