On Wednesday, we learned that Joel Embiid is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week. As Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports wrote, it’s unclear what exactly that means for his prognosis moving forward.
“The information we have currently does not offer a clear picture of the why behind this choice, or what precisely they hope to gain from an arthroscopic procedure,” Neubeck wrote. “Rather than a dramatic fix-all moment that some might have been hoping for, it seems to trend more toward their shared goal of taking smaller steps before a bigger, more consequential, and even more experimental move is made.
