Joel Embiid, late NBA MVP and Philadelphia 76ers star, has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee. The news was confirmed by reliable sources to The Athletic's Shams Charania and Joe Vardon.
Embiid's medical situation has placed the player and the team at a crossroads, with several options being meticulously considered. Among the alternatives are rest and rehab, as well as the possibility of undergoing surgery to address the tear.
This is an injury that can have significant implications on a player's ability to perform at the highest level. The decision on what course of treatment to pursue will be critical to Joel Embiid's short- and long-term future, as well as the overall performance of the Philadelphia 76ers this season.
We will see if the Cameroonian can return to play soon or a more drastic decision is made that requires surgery. The Sixers without the Cameroonian are a team that has no chance of accomplishing anything significant this year in the league.
