For the afternoon crowd:
Joel Embiid’s knee hasn’t gotten better as the team has administered lower-risk treatments this season. Now, more experimental procedures are potentially on the table.

Joel Embiid reportedly “consulting doctors and considering alternative options” for knee issue
This feels like the 76ers are moving toward shutting him down, likely for the rest of the season.

The Bulls have held onto the 10 seed for every single day since Jan 1. They’ve gone 7-16 in 2025. Sixers have gone 7-18 during that same span and dropped from 11th to 12th.
It’s way past time to shut down Embiid. – 7:01 PM
