Report: Embiid Suffers Setback, City of Philadelphia In Mourning

The exact opposite of good news.

This is quite the piece of information to bury on a Saturday night.

According to the one and only Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Sixers center Joel Embiid has suffered a setback in recovery from his navicular bone injury.

More from Wojnarowski:

After weeks of rigorous workouts, Embiid had not felt pain in the foot, but a recent CT scan revealed an issue in the healing process, sources said. Philadelphia is consulting with doctors on how to best proceed, and it's still premature to speculate on the possibility of another surgical procedure that could sideline Embiid, sources said.
