It has been roughly a month since the Philadelphia 76ers decided to shut Joel Embiid down for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, and a new update has surfaced about the former MVP’s latest injury.

A 76ers official told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Wednesday that Embiid is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week. The procedure will be the second for Embiid on the same knee in a span of 14 months.
Embiid will be re-evaluated in six weeks, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
The 76ers announced on Feb. 28 that Embiid had been deemed “medically unable to play” and would miss the remainder of the season. Embiid sought opinions from numerous specialists before agreeing to undergo another surgery on his problematic knee.
Embiid first injured his left knee in January 2024 when Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga fell into him while scrambling for a loose ball.
Embiid was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and underwent surgery. He returned after two months to play in the postseason and also played for Team USA in the Paris Olympics last summer.
Embiid averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists across just 19 games this season. The Sixers entered Wednesday with a record of 23-53 and are officially eliminated from postseason contention.
