Embiid left Friday night’s game vs the Wizards after taking a fall. He never returned, and the only news on the injury after the game was that Embiid would get an MRI when the team returned to Philly. The test returned good results after many feared the worst. Sixers have not yet set a time table for return.
*UPDATE*
According to Shams Charania the timeline for return will be 2 to 3 weeks.
