Some major news regarding Joel Embiid has been released.
Embiid will undergo a procedure to repair his left meniscus injury. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski says Embiid is expected to miss extended time due to the surgery.
Embiid played in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 119-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday and left the game with an injury. It was later revealed that Embiid had suffered a left meniscus injury. Based on the information we shared on Saturday , the news of Embiid undergoing surgery is no surprise.
Embiid was in the midst of another MVP-caliber season before this latest injury. The 6-time All-Star is averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game on 53.3% shooting from the field through 34 games played.
Embiid suffering the injury and undergoing surgery now puts his status for the rest of the season in question.
