Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid's quest to win back-to-back league MVPs is in serious jeopardy after he suffered a meniscus injury in his left knee.
Embiid, who has already missed 13 games this season, could be looking at a lengthy absence from the lineup. That has essentially eliminated him from contention for the NBA's MVP award, as he can only miss four more games this season to meet the 65-game threshold for MVP.
It's unfortunate for Embiid, as he's having yet another amazing season, averaging an NBA-best 35.3 points per game. However, it's going to be nearly impossible for him to play enough games through this knee injury.
