The 76ers announced Friday that Embiid underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday, and he will be re-evaluated in approximately six weeks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Embiid has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season, and the 76ers have been eliminated from playoff contention. However, after an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign in which Embiid made only 19 appearances, the superstar big man appears to be on track for basketball activities this summer. Even if he's available to begin the 2025-26 campaign, Embiid would likely face heavy restrictions.
Embiid is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being ruled out for the rest of the season in late February, Embiid met with team doctors to decide on a treatment plan for his lingering left knee injury. Following several weeks of consultations and tests, surgery was determined to be the best course of action. According to Charania, Embiid will be re-evaluated six weeks after the procedure, his second surgery on the knee over the past 14 months. While he's expected to make a full recovery, Embiid won't have any assurances of being ready to go for the start of the 2025-26 season. Embiid appeared in just 19 games this season and averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.9 blocks over 30.2 minutes per game, and his 44.4 percent mark from the field was the lowest of his nine-year NBA career.
