The 2023 league MVP will be re-evaluated six weeks after the surgery and is expected to have a full recovery, a source confirmed.

The 76ers originally announced in February 2024 that Embiid had undergone successful surgery on the meniscus in his left knee. After two months of recovery, Embiid returned for the end of the regular season and the playoffs before joining Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Joel Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week, according to a report from Shams Charania of ESPN, who also reported that Embiid is expected to make a full recovery with a six-week re-evaluation period.
