76ers forward Danny Green suffered torn ACL, LCL in season-ending loss to Heat

3-time NBA champion Green's career is in jeopardy

The Philadelphia 76ers announced that forward Danny Green tore the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral cruciate ligament in his left knee in Philadelphia’s season-ending loss in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

Green was injured when 76ers superstar Joel Embiid crashed into him in the first quarter of Game 6, falling into Green’s left leg after a shot attempt and sending the 13-year forward to the ground in a heap. Green, who will turn 35 next month, said that this was the first time he had suffered any sort of knee injury in his career and that he had never needed to have surgery before.
