Overview
- Joel Embiid, the 2022-23 NBA MVP, has suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee, raising concerns for the Philadelphia 76ers' season.
- The injury, identified as a displaced flap of the meniscus, puts Embiid in a difficult position, with surgery being a considerable option.
- Despite the injury, Embiid's impact on the team is undeniable, with the 76ers showing a significant drop in performance without him.
- The decision on whether to undergo surgery or opt for rehab is expected by Monday, with both options likely sidelining Embiid for several weeks.
- Embiid's absence could also impact his eligibility for awards, as NBA rules require players to participate in a minimum of 65 regular-season games.
