Joel Embiid Concussed, to Have Surgery for Orbital Bone Fracture

Joel Embiid was right with his hospital assessment of his facial injury being "not good."

Embiid was diagnosed with a concussion and an orbital bone fracture of his left eye that will require surgery after colliding with Markelle Fultz in Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Upon first evaluation in the locker room, Embiid was asymptomatic of a concussion and taken to Jefferson Hospital. He later began experiencing symptoms and was diagnosed with the concussion and facial fracture. 

Pending the results of surgery, Embiid could miss two to four weeks, according to a report by ESPN's Zach Lowe.
