Embiid and a fracture that could be the definitive sentence for the Sixers

He is one of the most underappreciated players in the entire NBA, and when he fell to the floor stricken during the Philadelphia 76ers game against the Indiana Pacers, many accused him of acting. However, Joel Embiid did not return to the court after confirming a fracture in a sinus bone, which will require reevaluation in a week to determine when he can compete again.

A public apology would be needed for the way many of Joel Embiid's haters handled the issue he faced against the Indiana Pacers the previous night. The Cameroonian is not a champion of fair play and sportsmanship, but to question a severe injury to his face after an accidental blow from Mathurin is quite a leap. He did not come back to the court, and Philadelphia 76ers will once again be without their best player for at least a week, although it may extend.

A fracture in a sinus bone is very delicate as it is a cavity located in the brain that surrounds the air intake and outtake passages in the nose. We may see Joel Embiid wearing a mask in the future, but the return timeline will depend on multiple factors, and it doesn't seem like the Philadelphia 76ers will take too many risks with him. The team seems destined for oblivion, with a record of 7-16 that makes it hard to envision a short-term comeback. This injury may have been the final blow.
