Joel Embiid and his foot injury have not been healing as fast as expected, according to Philly GM Same Hinkie. Embiid was Philly's third pick in last year's NBA draft and missed all of last season due to the injury.
"Recently, Joel and Sixers personnel traveled to Los Angeles for a series of routine exams with a number of physicians who have been actively involved throughout this process. During his visit with Dr. Richard Ferkel, a standard CT scan on Joel’s right foot revealed less healing than anticipated at this point."
Rumors out there are suggesting everything from Embiid missing summer league, to missing the start of the season, to potentially missing the entire season all together.
