Embiid suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of Philadelphia's 112-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.

Teammate Georges Niang fell on the Cameroonian's leg, sending Embiid to the floor. The 5-time All-Star writhed in pain for a couple of minutes but did stay on the court to help the Sixers compete to end the game.

Philadelphia is already down two stars with James Harden and Tyrese Maxey sidelined with their respective injuries.

Harden suffered a tendon sprain in his right foot earlier in November and was given a month-long recovery timeline. He will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, Maxey was diagnosed with a small fracture in his left foot last week and will also be re-evaluated in around two weeks.
