The injury, sustained during the 76ers’ thrilling 124-117 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night, was revealed following an MRI exam conducted earlier today.

Embiid, who delivered an impressive performance with 26 points and 11 rebounds on Thursday, will not take the court against the Boston Celtics this Sunday.
