Joel Embiid's season has come to an end due to the lingering effects of knee surgery, as announced by the Philadelphia 76ers. The decision was made after determining that Embiid is 'medically unable to play' and will focus on treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee.
Embiid's career has been plagued by various injuries since being drafted in 2014, including a recent meniscus surgery in February 2024. Despite returning for the playoffs, he never fully recovered and played only 19 games this season.
