The "bad Joel Embiid news" train has decided to make another stop in Monday's news circuit.
According to Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News, Embiid's navicular bone which he had surgery to repair last year has been re-broken. The news was buried as a one-liner in a story about the Sixers outlook in 2015-16, which feels super odd, given it's a pretty big news story in itself.
Embiid is expected to have surgery to repair his injured foot some time over the next few days. This likely puts him on a similar recovery period to his last surgery: no basketball activities for several months, light work around the new year, in hopes of having him ready by summer league in 2016.
