Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse is hopeful about Joel Embiid's recovery from a recent sinus fracture, stating it is less severe than previous facial injuries he has endured.

Embiid was injured during a game against the Indiana Pacers and will miss the upcoming match against the Charlotte Hornets. Nurse emphasized that Embiid's focus should be on recovering from his knee issues as well, making his return to full fitness a challenging process.
