"Joel Embiid's Meniscus Injury: Surgery Considered as Top Option"

TL;DR Summary
Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with a displaced flap of the meniscus in his left knee and is considering surgery as an option, following an injury sustained during a game against the Golden State Warriors. The team is currently discussing whether to pursue rest and rehab or opt for a procedure that would require an extended recovery period. This development puts Embiid's chances of repeating as MVP in jeopardy, as he has already missed 13 games this season, potentially making him ineligible for postseason awards under a new league rule.
