Sixers star center Joel Embiid will be out indefinitely after suffering a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion against the Raptors Thursday. (Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Embiid has already been dealing with a torn ligament in his thumb, and now he is dealing with two additional injuries that will leave him without a timetable for a return. He sustained these injuries in Game 6 against the Raptors on Thursday, and he will likely miss much of the series against the Heat. The Sixers will need to rely on their depth bigs like Paul Reed and DeAndre Jordan to step up and fill in during Embiid's prolonged absence.
