It’s been nearly two months since the Philadelphia 76ers had Joel Embiid in the lineup.
When the star center exited the team’s January 30 matchup against the Golden State Warriors prematurely, he was scheduled to undergo an MRI. After an MCL injury was revealed, Embiid decided to have a surgical procedure done to correct the issue.
The Sixers guaranteed Embiid’s absence would last four weeks at minimum. At that point, he would be re-evaluated, and the team would determine the next steps.
