Embiid Faces Uncertain Future After Injury
Sixers Star Suffers Orbital Fracture and Concussion
WEB Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is facing an uncertain future after suffering a right orbital fracture and mild concussion in Game 6 against the Toronto Raptors.
Return Date Unclear
WEB 76ers coach Nick Nurse said he is confident that Embiid will return before the playoffs, but no specific timeline has been set. However, the severity of the injury could potentially keep the star center out indefinitely.
Procedure on Left Knee
WEB Embiid has also recently undergone a procedure on his left knee, which he injured in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. The procedure was intended to address a left knee issue, including a meniscus tear that kept Embiid out for 29 games earlier this season.
Surgery on Left Knee

The team will be forced to adjust their strategy and rely on other players until Embiid is able to return. The severity and timeline of his latest injuries will ultimately determine his availability for the upcoming playoffs and could have a significant impact on the 76ers' postseason hopes.
