Joel Embiid Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery, Out for Season

The Philadelphia 76ers star will be re-evaluated in six weeks following his second knee procedure in just over a year, as the team struggles through a disappointing season.

• Joel Embiid underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on April 9, 2025, performed by Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow at NYU Langone Sports Medicine Center.
• The surgery was deemed successful, but Embiid remains sidelined for the rest of the season, with a follow-up evaluation scheduled in six weeks.
• This marks Embiid's second knee surgery in a little over a year, adding to a season plagued by injuries, including a sinus fracture and a suspension incident.
• The seven-time All-Star played a career-low 19 games this season, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game when available.
• The Philadelphia 76ers, who began the season with championship aspirations, currently sit 13th in the Eastern Conference with a 24-56 record.
