Joel Embiid's third facial fracture of his career is latest gut punch to 76ers
This isn't the first time Embiid has dealt with an injury to his face. He's played through two orbital bone fractures in his career already, in 2018 and 2022. He missed two weeks the first time. The second time he only missed two games, but that was in the playoffs. The urgency to get Embiid back this time isn't quite so heightened.
