Philadelphia 76ers' center Joel Embiid is out indefinitely after suffering an orbital fracture and mild concussion during Thursday's series-clinching win over the Toronto Raptors, the team said Friday.
Embiid suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter while defending Raptors forward Pascal Siakam. He went to the bench and did not return. The 28-year-old center was already playing through a torn ligament in his right thumb he suffered earlier in the Toronto series.
Still, he finished the game with 33 points and 10 rebounds.
