Joel Embiid sustained a sinus fracture after being struck in the face during the Philadelphia 76ers' loss to the Indiana Pacers. This injury complicates an already challenging season for Embiid, who has played only six of the 76ers' 23 games and faces ongoing health concerns. The team will evaluate him further this weekend as they struggle with a 7-16 record, maintaining a 'next man up' mentality in the face of adversity while missing key players for extended periods.
