Embiid laughs off Winslow breaking mask: 'I’m going to be a nightmare'

It's going to take more than breaking a silly mask to stop Joel Embiid.

The superstar center for the Philadelphia 76ers marked his return from an orbital bone fracture by scoring 23 points and playing tremendous defense in a pivotal Game 3 victory over the Miami Heat.

Embiid ended the night with some trash talk for Heat forward Justise Winslow, who tried to break his protective mask at one point.

“Justise stepped on it and tried to break it with his hands. But little do they know is that I have about 50 of them. So it’s going to take much more than that to get me out of the series. I’m going to be a nightmare for them, too," Embiid told Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia.

Winslow did damage by scoring 19 points in the first half, but went scoreless in the second half and finished as a minus-27 in the loss.
