Beijing time on April 30 news, the Philadelphia 76ers who advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals have been hit again, the team's star Joel Embiid due to eye socket injuries and slight concussions, will miss the next game, when to return unknown!
Embiid's injury was first broken by renowned sports journalist Shams Charania, who wrote a few hours ago on his social blog, "76ers All-Star Joel Embiid suffered a fracture in his right eye socket and a slight concussion in the sixth game of the first round of The 76ers. His current appearance in the team's injury report is a truce, and there is no timetable for his return at this time. ”
Not long after, the 76ers officially released similar news, which also confirmed that Embiid's injury was real.
So how long will Embiid be absent this time, some medical experts said that the recovery cycle of orbital injury depends on the location of the injury and whether the nearby bone has shifted. Some people have no problem taking a break for a game or two after an eye socket damage, and some people have to be absent for longer.
