INDIANAPOLIS -- The Philadelphia 76ers have had to battle through most of the season without their superstar big man, Joel Embiid, and it has caused them to fall short in a season filled with high expectations.

Embiid is scheduled to be reevaluated in seven to 10 days. The news arrived after Embiid missed the previous six games because of a sprained left foot. The seven-time All-Star has only played in 13 games this season due to the sprained foot, knee swelling, left knee management, right sinus fracture, and a three-game suspension.

Joel Embiid will miss at least three more games as he continues to recover from another injury to his left knee.

Joel Embiid has missed 400 regular-season games, nearly half his career. His injury struggles aren’t going away anytime soon.
