Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Chicago Bulls following new imaging on his injured left knee. After experiencing swelling post-game against the Nets, Embiid's knee issues have raised concerns, prompting consultations with medical specialists about possible surgery or rest. Despite these challenges, he has expressed a strong desire to continue playing. Last season, he dealt with a meniscus tear requiring surgery, contributing to a limited number of games played this season and ongoing injury struggles.
Embiid has publicly and privately said in recent weeks that he might need surgery or an extended rest period for his knee to heal, but he has been determined to find ways to play and be available for the 76ers.
The former MVP and the 76ers continue to consult with doctors and collaborate with specialists about the best way to move forward with the knee, sources said.
