On February 2, Beijing time, the US media broke the MRI results of Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers, which showed a meniscus injury in the left knee. Subsequently, well-known NBA reporter Shams followed up and reported that Embiid's injury was a torn meniscus in his left knee. According to the report, Embiid will miss this weekend's game after communicating with the 76ers' medical team, and the ** plan will be determined. This is a relatively painful blow to Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid is aiming to be the MVP and scoring champion this season, and after some hard work, careful injury recovery and game alternation, Embiid is at the top of both the scoring and MVP charts. Especially on the MVP list, Embiid is mostly in the lead. But according to NBA rules, any regular season honors such as Most Valuable Player, All-Defensive Player and All-NBA must play at least 65 games to be eligible. Therefore, Embiid will be reimbursed early for the season and will withdraw from the ranks of the scoring champion and MVP.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, it is undoubtedly the biggest blow, and the offseason introduction of the famous coach Nurse is aiming to go one step further in the playoffs. With Harden leaving at the start of the season, the team is still able to retain a playoff spot. And Maxi's outburst and Oubre's integration were activated, and the team was on the rise. But at this juncture, Embiid, the star of the main center, was reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule, and the team's subsequent games were very difficult.
Embiid has played in 34 games for the 76ers this season, averaging 35 per game3 points 113 rebounds and 57 assists and a shooting percentage of 533%。Three-point shooting percentage of 366%。It's worth mentioning that this is the second time Embiid has torn his left meniscus in his career, the last time being in the 2016-17 season. And in the summer of 2017, Embiid underwent surgery to partially remove the left meniscus, so the location of the injury this time must be very cautious.
