The Philadelphia 76ers are optimistic that center Joel Embiid can return to the court for Game 3 or 4 of their second-round playoff series against the Miami Heat, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Embiid sustained a concussion and orbital bone fracture during a collision with Raptors forward Pascal Siakam late in Philadelphia's closeout win over Toronto in Thursday's Game 6.
Embiid won't travel to Miami for Games 1 and 2 as he remains in concussion protocol, according to Wojnarowski. He'll need to clear concussion protocol and see a doctor about his fracture before returning to the court.
