Latest news on Joel Embiid's physical condition: Goodbye to the season?

The Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid are consulting with specialists to evaluate the best options to treat the injury in his left knee, including the possibility of surgery, as reported by ESPN. Both parties have been waiting for an improvement in his condition, but current treatments, including regular injections, have not yielded positive results. Considering the team's performance, they might decide to bid farewell to the season.

Embiid is expected to undergo medical tests early this week. Based on those results, the player and the franchise will work with specialists to determine the best course of action. In recent weeks, Embiid has publicly and privately acknowledged that he may need surgery or an extensive period of rest to fully recover, although he has tried to make himself available for the team.

The MVP of the 2022-23 season has been dealing with knee issues since last season when he suffered a meniscus tear and had surgery in February. He returned in April for the 76ers' playoffs and later was part of the U.S. team that won gold at the Olympics. However, earlier this month, he admitted he did not have enough time to fully recover from the surgery.

This season, knee problems, along with a foot sprain, have limited his participation to only 19 games out of the 56 played by the 76ers. Currently, his status is questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls after experiencing knee inflammation following Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
