Joel Embiid Surgery Has Been Scheduled

After weeks of uncertainty about what was going on with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid, we finally got some leaked information.

Unfortunately, this didn’t come from the team, which is disappointing. Fans felt let down when the Sixers didn’t give fans any information following an announcement that Embiid would have surgery in “7-10 days.”

It’s still murky water as far as what the delay was, but at the time of releasing a statement saying the surgery would be in 10 days, they hadn’t chose a doctor.
