After a stretch of four wins in five games, Friday's loss leaves Philadelphia sandwiched between the Pistons and Hornets in the East.

Embiid was trying to make a defensive play 12 seconds before halftime of a 121-107 loss to Indiana. He did not return to the game and will undergo further evaluation this weekend.

However, in the midst of a 121-107 loss to the Pacers at home on Friday, more injuries popped up. The Sixers lost Joel Embiid at halftime due to a facial injury after he had 12 points, five rebounds, and four assists in the first half.
