Philadelphia 76ers' center Joel Embiid's timeline for returning to the court remains uncertain following his recent knee surgery. This has raised questions about his availability for the U.S. Olympic team this summer. Embiid, who underwent a procedure to address an injury to the lateral meniscus in his left knee, is expected to be out of action for at least four weeks, potentially much longer.
Despite the setback, U.S. coach Steve Kerr reached out to Embiid this week to offer his well wishes for a speedy recovery. Kerr even expressed his desire to meet up with the NBA MVP before the Warriors faced off against the 76ers. While Kerr hoped to see Embiid, the situation remains unpredictable due to the surgery, rehabilitation process, and the 76ers' plans, all of which play significant roles in determining Embiid's chances of representing the U.S. in the Olympics.
