NBA star Joel Embiid is diagnosed with Bell's palsy after suffering from 'bad migraines' this season

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, a form of facial paralysis he says has affected him since before this season's play-in tournament.
Embiid wore sunglasses to the podium after he scored 50 points in the Sixers' Game 3 win over the New York Knicks on Thursday night and said he's dealt with various symptoms such as blurred vision and dry eyes.
He revealed he first started noticing the affliction about a 'day or two' before the Sixers played the Miami Heat on April 17 in the play-in tournament. Embiid had 23 points and 15 rebounds in the win that sent the Sixers to the playoffs.
Embiid complained of migraines but 'thought it was nothing' before he finally notified doctors he wasn't feeling well.
'My body was just, I was just not feeling it,' Embiid said.
'Yes, it's pretty annoying. My left side of my face, my mouth and my eye. It's been tough. But I'm not a quitter. I'm going to keep fighting through anything.

His face has looked unusual in recent games. Once had a pastor at church who dealt with that condition a few years ago.

That's terrible to hear. That's the same thing Jim Ross has, sometimes they can't even figure out why it happened.
