Charania: Philadelphia's Joel Embiid (orbital fracture, concussion) out indefinitely
According to Shams Charania, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid ((orbital fracture, concussion) "will be listed out and there is no timetable for his return."
After suffering a concussion and an orbital fracture during Game 6, Embiid is expected to miss an uncertain amount of time. With their top offensive producer sidelined against a Miami unit allowing a 104.1 defensive rating, expect James Harden to lead Philadelphia in usage while Paul Reed or Georges Niang sees more minutes off the bench.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 189.2 minutes this regular season with Embiid off the floor, Harden has averaged 1.45 FanDuel points per minute.
