Joel Embiid left the game against the Indiana Pacers after being struck in the face while going for a defensive rebound, resulting in his early exit.
The Philadelphia 76ers ruled Embiid out early in the second half, citing 'impact to the right side of the face' and indicated he would undergo further testing.
This incident marks just Embiid's sixth game played out of 23 for the season, amid ongoing issues with swelling in his left knee and a prior suspension.
Embiid has a history of facial injuries, including an orbital bone fracture from a collision in the 2022 playoffs and Bell's Palsy symptoms in a prior playoff loss.
