Embiid fracture 'not as severe' as before

China Daily  

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid shoots a ball after the game against the Orlando Magic at Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US, Dec 6, 2024. Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse expressed optimism about Joel Embiid's return to action, saying his recent sinus fracture is "not nearly as severe" as the two previous facial fractures sustained by the 2023 NBA MVP. In 2018, Embiid fractured his left orbital bone and sustained a concussion when he collided with teammate Markelle Fultz, sidelining him for the final eight games of the regular season and the first two games of the 2018 NBA Playoffs. In April 2022, Embiid caught an elbow from Pascal Siakam in Philadelphia's series-clinching Game 6 win, causing a fracture to his right orbital and forcing the seven-time All-Star to miss the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
