Joel Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week. The procedure is being done with the goal of reducing the symptoms Embiid has been experiencing, and will allow him to perform at a higher level. Embiid is expected to make a full recovery.Â
The Sixers ruled out Embiid for the rest of the 24-25 season in late February. Embiid played in just 19 games this season and averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists.Â
This is the second surgery on his left knee in just over a year. Embiid experienced continued pain in swelling in his troublesome knee. He underwent multiple rounds of imaging and treatment in an effort to forge a path forward.
Embiid and the Sixers signed a three-year, $193 million extension in September.
