Report: Joel Embiid Out With Torn Ligament in Left Hand, Evaluating Treatment Options

Further testing on Joel Embiid revealed that the Philadelphia center has a torn ligament in his left hand, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. The 76ers star is reportedly evaluating his treatment options and consulting with doctors about the next steps.

ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports there is no timetable for his return.

The injury occurred early in Monday night's contest victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Embiid went to guard Steven Adams down low, but quickly moved away from the play, and motioned for a timeout. The Kansas product's bent finger was seen stretching across his pinkie.
