76ers reporter Keith Pompey reports that Embiid is confirmed to miss Tuesday's home game against the Hornets due to a broken sinus.
As a result, this is Embiid's 18th game missed this season, which means that he will not be able to reach 65 games this season, and he will not be selected for major awards such as MVP this season.
So far this season, Embiid, who signed a three-year, $193 million contract extension this summer, has only played six games, averaging 20.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.3 turnovers in 29.3 minutes per game, shooting 41.1% and 16% from the field.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second consecutive season that Embiid has missed the MVP selection due to substandard attendance, and only played 39 games last season......
The 76ers have fallen far short of expectations this season, with only 7 wins and 16 losses so far, ranking 12th in the East.
In addition to the injury problem, there is also the sluggish competitive form of the two giants in the team.
Not only Embiid as mentioned above, but also George, who signed a four-year, $212 million super-max contract this summer.
In particular, George has fallen off a cliff, coming to Philadelphia with only 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists so far, shooting 41.3% and 31.7% from the field.
In George's current situation, his 4-year $212 million contract is the NBA's biggest poison contract, and the 76ers have become the biggest laughing stock in the league.
