After weeks of waiting, Philadelphia 76ers fans were finally given some great news on one of their (one day) star centers. Joel Embiid was finally scheduled to have surgery on his re-broken navicular bone in his foot.
This announcement noticeably still didn’t come from the team, who has seemed to keep as quiet as possible regarding Embiid, which left fans with a sense of paranoia. Speculation was everywhere as fans wondered why Embiid wasn’t wearing a boot, and why he was running up stairs at a Sixers Summer League game.
Now, we finally have a day that we know Embiid will be getting this season ending surgery, and that day is Tuesday, well beyond the “next 10 days,” we initially were informed it would be.
