Joel Embiid and the Sixers will make a definitive decision about their future next week

The 2024/25 NBA season has been a nightmare for Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers star is struggling to overcome his knee issues. As a result, he has only managed to play 19 Regular Season games so far.

Nevertheless, a decision is still pending on whether to subject the player to surgery that would keep him out for the remainder of the season and the start of the next, or to continue attempting rehabilitation without the need for surgery.

Until now, neither the Sixers' medical staff nor external doctors have been able to find a solution for Embiid's recovery. Additionally, ESPN reported that Philadelphia wanted to avoid that surgery that could end their aspirations this season.

However, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the situation has reached a point of no return. A final decision will be made next week: whether Joel Embiid undergoes surgery or postpones it until the end of the season.
