Embiid and a likely decision that would change the course of his career and the NBA
We analyze the implications of the alarming statements made by the Sixers' center about his knee problems.
His stock is lower than ever since he landed in the NBA, and all alarms have gone off at Philadelphia 76ers, both due to the sensations he shows and now, due to his statements. Joel Embiid has hinted at the need to undergo knee surgery that would keep him off the courts for a very extended period.
The season seems to be lost, and Joel Embiid's physical sensations do not seem to improve. Constant in and out of the team, setbacks in discomfort, discipline problems, and many doubts. All of this significantly conditions the current path of the Cameroonian pivot, whose desperation with his knee pains is such that he is seriously considering a radical option. He expressed this to journalist Lisa Salters, mentioning that the discomfort does not go away and that perhaps the best course of action would be surgery.

The Sixers lost (again), and Embiid apparently told Lisa Salters he’ll need another surgery to actually get his knee right. What the hell is going on?https://t.co/eaT7UXueD7 pic.twitter.com/DZQFr9ruLs
A surgical intervention of this magnitude would mean that Joel Embiid, at 30 years old, would be out for months and would have to recover from surgery, always a delicate process, especially in a body as voluminous as his, which endures so much stress in competition and has suffered so much. He must make a vital decision for himself, the consequences of which will be crucial for the entire NBA, as we may be witnessing the beginning of the end of one of the most dominant players of recent times when he was able to perform without physical limitations.
