According to the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be without Joel Embiid for at least the next week due to their big man suffering a right sinus fracture.

The injury happened last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, which saw Bennedict Mathurin attempt to grab the rebound; however, upon landing, his arm crashed into the face of the 30-year-old.

Once Embiid went to the locker room, he never returned to the bench.

Embiid has only played in six of the 23 games this season.

According to Shams Charania, LeBron James is likely out for Friday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

James has been dealing with foot soreness for a while now and will have an extended break to help him recover. LeBron last played on December 6th against the Atlanta Hawks, where he had a 30-point triple-double.

JJ Redick said LeBron has been “gassed” recently and needed a break, which the Los Angeles Lakers granted. Los Angeles gave him an excused absence.

“In game, he’s asked for a sub a couple times because he’s gassed,” JJ Redick said Wednesday. “For us, we have to be cognizant as we play more and more games, just the cumulative effect of playing a lot of minutes and Sunday, being banged up with the foot thing, it felt like a good opportunity for him to get some rest.”

If LeBron plays this Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies, he would have had eight days of rest. However, if LeBron is ruled out for that home game, then the next game to play would be on December 19th.

Los Angeles takes on the Sacramento Kings on the 19th for anyone curious. LeBron would also have almost two weeks to rest if given Sunday off.

In 23 games this season, the 39-year-old (soon to be 40) averages 23.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 9.1 assists in 35.0 minutes.

The San Antonio Spurs set up a legendary interview between Tony Parker and Chris Paul, as during this sit-down, the two point guards talked about a list of topics. One topic was how long the Spurs guard has left in the league.

Overall, Paul said he only has a season or two left in his storied career. He is 39 years old and in his 20th season. Come May 6th, Paul will turn 40 years old.

“Maybe a year or two. I’m still trying to feel it out,” Paul said. “I think the hardest part is—like I love this, like practice today, I love hooping, I love all of that. The hardest part is when I get home and I have to watch my kids’ games on the iPad or whatnot, so that’s the tug of war right now.”

Later in the interview, Paul reflected on his time with the Warriors and the struggles of it all.

“Last year (with the Golden State Warriors) was probably one of the toughest years for me. I just love to hoop. I wanna play. If I’m gonna sacrifice my family and be away from them, then I at least need to be playing,” Paul said.

Since signing with San Antonio, the veteran point guard has started all 24 games averaging 10.2 points and 8.5 assists.
