Joel Embiid suffered another setback Friday night during the Philadelphia 76ers' 121–107 loss to the Indiana Pacers at Wells Fargo Center.
Playing in just his sixth game all year, Embiid was hit hard on the side of his face by Pacers guard Benedict Mathurin while the two players battled for a rebound late in the closing seconds of the first half. Embiid stayed on the floor after the collision and was treated by medical staff. He did not return to the game.
