Joel Embiid to undergo left knee surgery next week

The Sixers star will have arthroscopic procedure, expected to be re-evaluated in six weeks

Joel Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week, a team official told ESPN. The goal is to reduce ongoing symptoms and help the 2022-23 MVP return to full form.

Embiid, who played just 19 games this season, has been battling pain and swelling in the same knee where he tore the meniscus last year. Despite multiple treatments, his condition didn’t improve, forcing the Sixers to shut him down in February.

He is expected to make a full recovery, with a six-week re-evaluation window. This marks the second surgery on his left knee in just over a year.
