Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid briefly exited in the first quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder after suffering a gruesome injury to his left ring finger.

After returning to the locker room to receive treatment, Embiid returned to the bench with his middle, pink, and left ring finger taped together.

He checked back into the contest shortly afterward near the start of the second quarter.

The issue didn't appear to hinder Embiid much. He finished with 18 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in 33 minutes as the 76ers won, 120-113.
