Joel Embiid’s season has come to an end, but we’ve now known that for weeks. As far as the offseason and his return to the court goes, however, a lot is up in the air.
Embiid suffered from a bone bruise earlier in the season against the Portland Trail Blazers, missed a few games, and returned to play (on national television, for what it’s worth) against the Houston Rockets. It is now speculated that the team was aware he was still injured, and played him hastily in that game. Embiid left that game with injury as well, and it was discovered later on that he had a slight meniscus tear.
