Now that Joel Embiid has had surgery, the 76ers will try to find different ways to rehabilitate his right foot, general manager Sam Hinkie said Wednesday.
Five doctors were involved Tuesday in bone-graft surgery to repair the navicular bone in Embiid's foot. The recovery time for the 7-foot center is five to eight months. However, Hinkie confirmed that Embiid would miss the entire season.
"One of the things that we have in our favor is that we have a new set of people that we can throw at this problem and they can be involved," Hinkie said.
