Impact After missing the first two games of the series while in the concussion protocol and recovering from an orbital fracture, Embiid hasn't been in top form in his two contests since returning, but his presence has been enough for the 76ers to even the series. He's handled full workloads in both of his first two games back, and as he becomes more comfortable playing through the orbital fracture and a torn thumb ligament, he could show improved efficiency.
