Joel Embiid could undergo radical knee procedures

The situation surrounding Joel Embiid continues to get more complicated

The situation surrounding Joel Embiid continues to get more complicated. According to the Philly Inquirer, the Philadelphia 76ers center could undergo one of the following surgical procedures to address his ongoing knee issues:

  • Meniscus replacement
  • Low-dose radiation therapy
  • Osteotomy, a procedure where doctors break a bone in the hip to realign the joint and alleviate pressure

A source described these procedures as “radical,” considering the initial injury was supposed to be routine. However, something has gone terribly wrong in his recovery.

Meanwhile, if Embiid is not with the Sixers next season, the Toronto Raptors are the favorites to land him, according to Bovada (+1500), followed by the Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets (+1800) and the Phoenix Suns (+2500).
