Star Center Joel Embbiid is not available to the Philadelphia 76ers for a long time. As the team from the North American basketball league NBA announced, Embiid has to be treated for persistent knee problems and will no longer be used in the remaining 24 games of the current regular season.
The 30-year-old has been leading symptoms in his left knee for a long time, which forced him to breaks again and again. Nevertheless, he got an average of 23.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 19 games. However, at 44.4 percent he also had the highest false rate of his previous career.
When Embbiid can play again is currently open. An operation was not excluded because the conservative treatment methods would not have been struck. Search for a long -term solution to the problems, so a decision about an operation has not yet been made, the 76ers said.
