Sixers: Latest on Joel Embiid’s Knee Injury

Staff Report by Staff Report
February 3, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read

Joel Embiid continues to sit out for the Sixers with a left knee ailment and the possibility that he could miss extended time is on the table.

As reported by Shams Charania and Joe Vardon of The Athletic, Embiid has been diagnosed with a displaced flap of the meniscus in his left knee and is considering having surgery on it, something that would require him to miss extended time.

A displaced flap is considered to be a type of tear of the meniscus, according to orthopedic knee specialists. Embiid, his doctors and the 76ers are continuing to discuss whether the best course of action is to rest and rehab the injury or to undergo a procedure that would require him to miss extended time.

Days after injuring his knee against the Warriors, the Sixers announced that Embiid had a lateral meniscus injury. The decision on how Embiid proceeds with the ailment is expected to be made after the weekend.

The 76ers declined to comment on the matter on Saturday.

The 76ers said on Thursday that Embiid has a lateral meniscus injury and will be out through the weekend while a treatment plan is finalized. One source close to Embiid suggested a decision would be made by Monday.

Embiid has been managing soreness in his knee for much of the season, per The Athletic’s reporting.

Embiid began dealing with what was termed as “soreness” and “swelling” in the left knee in early January and missed three games earlier in the month due to the injury. A Sixers source told The Athletic’s Sam Amick that Embiid has been managing soreness in his knee for much of the season.

The former No. 3 overall pick took home MVP honors last year, though with the new award rules this season, he’s closing in on being ineligible to win the MVP. To be eligible, players must play in at least 65 regular season games, which means missing at most 17 contests. Saturday night’s contest against the Nets will be Embiid’s 14th missed game of the year.
