Report: 76ers' Embiid sidelined after suffering orbital fracture/concussion in Game 6
The Philadelphia 76ers advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs after blowing out the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 Thursday night, but it may have come at a cost.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, 76ers star centre Joel Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture and mild concussion during the Game 6 victory and there is no timetable for his return.
The 28-year-old MVP candidate was already dealing with a torn ligament in his right thumb for most of the series against the Raptors.
Embiid has been playing through pain this postseason after sustaining a torn ligament in his right thumb -- and now this orbital fracture, concussion, and will now be sidelined.
