Joel Embiid 'Very Likely' To Undergo Knee Surgery 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Mar 22, 2017 8:35 pm

Joel Embiid is "very likely" to undergo knee surgery on his torn meniscus.


Embiid has been meeting with doctors to determine his next steps.


Embiid was the overwhelming favorite to win Rookie of the Year before he was ruled out for the season.

Didn't they already write an article saying this like a week ago?

Definitely should have rested more earlier in the season

Thanks for the honesty.

Does any other NBA teams want to do a direct swap of their medical staff with our medical staff? Please?

This guy was the best rookie, he should get the award. It's a real shame if he somehow won't be able to play. The guy is a HoF talent out of the box and should get some recognition for that.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Nowadays as long as you use your knees for basketball, you will tear something in them
