On the broadcast just now, Lisa Salters just relayed after talking with Embiid that he believes “It will likely take another surgery and a long recovery period" to get his knee right
Which, notably, is not what the team has said!
couldn't even get through a Hubie Brown goodbye broadcast without "Joel Embiid thinks he needs another surgery" taking over the story lol
Surgery is even worse news than it seems, at this point. I'm no doctor, but I watched a video of one recently explaining that eveytime someone has knee surgery, they're basically shaving the damaged part of the cartilage out so that it can heal, and sometimes even removing significant chunks of it. Multiple knee surgeries mean that at some point, the knee is just bone on bone, basically. So, it's not even just the deflation of having to wait through rehab AGAIN, it's honestly starting to be plausible that Embiid's career will be over soon.
