CAMDEN, N.J. -- An MRI on Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid's sprained right thumb Sunday confirmed he has a ligament tear, but sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Embiid will have surgery to fix the tear after Philadelphia's season comes to an end.
"[The MRI] just confirmed what we thought," 76ers coach Doc Rivers said. "But nothing changes.
"Treatment is the same. There literally will be no change. It's just, we knew we thought what it was and it was, so you just keep moving on."
Embiid suffered the injury in the first half of Philadelphia's 104-101 Game 3 victory over the Raptors in Toronto last Wednesday.
