Philadelphia star Joel Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture and mild concussion in Thursday night’s series-clinching Game 6 victory over Toronto. He will be out indefinitely, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Embiid appeared to suffer the injury with four minutes left in the contest with the Sixers leading by 27. There’s risk to playing star players with such a significant lead late in the game, and it appears Doc Rivers and Philadelphia will learn their lesson the hard way as they move forward in the playoffs without their star player.
