Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week, sparking major concerns about his long-term future. The 2023 MVP has been sidelined since late February, and after weeks of consultations, the Sixers have opted for another procedure to address persistent knee issues.
This marks yet another setback for Embiid, whose knee problems have haunted him for years. Last season, he played just 39 games due to a torn meniscus. This year, he managed only 19 appearances, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists before swelling forced him out. With the Sixers struggling at 23-53 and set to miss the playoffs for the first time in eight years, many fans are questioning whether he’ll ever be the same.
As frustration builds, some have even called for the Sixers to consider parting ways with his massive $192 million contract. While Embiid is expected to recover fully, skepticism remains about whether he can stay healthy long-term. His future in Philadelphia and the NBA now hinges on his ability to bounce back once again.
