PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Haliburton had 32 points and 11 assists and the Indiana Pacers beat Philadelphia 121-107 on Friday night, with the 76ers playing the second half without Joel Embiid after he sustained a sinus fracture when he was struck in the face late in the first. Embiid was battling Indiana's Bennedict Mathurin when he caught an errant forearm and elbow to the bridge of the nose. Embiid crumpled to the ground as play continued up floor and stayed down near the Philadelphia bench, holding his face. Playing just his sixth game of the season, Embiid had 12 points, four rebounds and five assists in 17 1/2 minutes. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 22 points.
