MVP candidate Joel Embiid is now ‘out indefinitely’ and there is no timetable for his return as the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to take on the Miami Heat in the second round.
Sources: 76ers All-NBA star Joel Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture and mild concussion in series-clinching Game 6 win last night in Toronto. He will be listed as out and there is no timetable for his return.

The unfortunate part about this is that Embiid was injured while the Sixers were up by 29 points with just a few minutes left in Game 6 against the Toronto Raptors — there was really no need for him to be in there.
