After a below-par performance in Game 5 wherein heat brutally beat the Sixers at home, Embiid has started Game 6 by short-handing his own team, at the expense of Danny Green.

Who eventually had to be lifted to the locker room, being in evident pain after the collision with Joel Embiid.

Can Joel Embiid lead Sixers past Heat in Game 6?
Danny Green fell to the floor immediately and was writhing in pain after Sixers teammate Joel Embiid inadvertently fell on his left knee. Green had to be helped to the locker room and he could not put any weight on the injured knee.
To those who are not aware, Green has started all five games of the Heat series, averaging 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals while also connecting on 2.8 triples per game on a highly-efficient 45.2-percent clip.
Talking about the summary of Sixers vs Heat Game 6 until halftime, Joel Embiid might have led the team with the scoring tally of 14 points, yet he has been nowhere near his best form. The Miami Heat have taken a 1-point lead going into halftime, and has looked dangerous while attacking the paint.
On the other hand, apart from Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden have managed to score points in double-digits. Whereas there has been no major support from the home bench as there have been only 5 points registered out of the 5 players who have come-in combined.
