Joel Embiid has struggled to remain fit throughout his time in Philadelphia but the team remain hopeful after his recent setback.
Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse is hopeful about Joel Embiid's return to the court after suffering a sinus fracture.
Embiid's injury occurred during Friday's loss to the Indiana Pacers when he was struck in the face by Benedict Mathurin while attempting a defensive rebound.
Fortunately, Nurse believes that Embiid's current injury is less severe than the two previous facial fractures he sustained in his career.

The 76ers have announced that their star man will be reevaluated in one week.
Before the 76ers' game against the Charlotte Hornets, Nurse shared his optimism about Embiid's recovery, saying:
"The only thing that I can compare it to, but I wasn't here, but he certainly had those other ones that were a lot worse.
"It's not nearly as severe as those two from what they tell me. So I guess that's good because those were pretty tough - and they say it's not as bad as that."
