Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid was ruled out for the season back on Feb. 28 after playing in only 19 games. He had a bothersome left knee problem that hampered him in the games he did play as he did not look anywhere like himself.

The Philadelphia 76ers announced that center Joel Embiid has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Last season, Embiid was limited to 39 games due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. In February 2024, the Sixers' big man underwent surgery and returned in early April for the team's playoff run. Embiid then won a gold medal with Team USA in the Paris Games.
