There’s optimism he could return as soon as either Game 3 or 4 in Philadelphia. He needs to clear concussion protocols and see doctor mid-week on his orbital fracture.

He suffered a concussion and fractured orbital bone in his left eye in Game 6 of the first-round series against the Toronto Raptors.

76ers will play in a series against the Miami Heat in Eastern Conference semifinals. The showdown will begin on Tuesday.

In the six games against Toronto, despite playing through a thumb injury, Embiid averaged 26.2 points and 11.3 rebounds. He sank a tiebreaking, turnaround 3-pointer to win Game 3 in the final second.
