Joel Embiid having meniscus surgery in potential 76ers nightmare scenario
NY Post
Joel Embiid will undergo surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his left knee, the 76ers announced on Sunday.
The team did not give a timeline for the NBA superstar’s return, but ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Embiid is expected to miss “an extended period of time.”
The NBA insider also indicated that the “door isn’t closed on an Embiid return this season.”
“Joel Embiid will have a corrective procedure this week to address an injury to the lateral meniscus in his left knee. An update will be provided following the procedure,” a team statement read.
The news comes after it was revealed that he was diagnosed with a displaced flap of the meniscus in his left knee over the weekend and late last week the 76ers acknowledged that he was dealing with a knee issue.
The injury occurred during Tuesday night’s loss to the Warriors when Jonathan Kuminga landed on Embiid’s left leg while going for a loose ball in the fourth quarter.
