BREAKING Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid out indefinitely with orbital fracture, mild concussion
when the 76ers were closing out the Raptors and finishing off a six-game win in an Eastern Conference first-round series.
That win sent fourth-seeded Philadelphia into the East semifinals against top-seeded Miami, a matchup that begins Monday night. But Embiid's status is now very much in doubt. A similar fracture, to his left orbital bone, kept him out for about three weeks - spanning 10 games, including two playoff games against the Heat.
Embiid was hit in the face by an inadvertent Pascal Siakam elbow late in Philadelphia's series-clinching, blowout win. He was already playing through a right thumb injury in these playoffs, but led the 76ers to the Round 1 win regardless.
