Joel Embiid Undergoes Successful Surgery On Meniscus 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Mar 26, 2017 6:59 pm

Joel Embiid had minor surgery on his left knee Friday to repair a torn meniscus.


Embiid should be able to transition to full weight-bearing workouts in about two weeks, according to a statement from Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache, who performed the surgery in Los Angeles.


"He deserves some luck," 76ers coach Brett Brown said before Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. "He's been through a lot, and he's a different person than his first injury."


Embiid missed the first two seasons of his career due to recurring right foot injuries.
