To my knowledge the leaves won’t recover, but as long as the growth tip is not damaged your plant should recover and grow healthy new growth.

On a plant this size even if the growth tips are damaged it can still come back from side shoots or basal shoots. Leaves will eventually defoliate. There's not much to do not except keep it in the proper conditions and hope to recovers in a few weeks. I would say theres a very good chance it will come back in some time.

Most of the leaves have died but two small growth points are still alive. If anyone has any advice if would be greatly appreciated.
