Joel Embiid sat out of the 76ers game as his left knee injury continues to cast doubt on whether he’ll be playing in the nearest future.
The All-Star center underwent testing Monday, with more scheduled for the following day, and was ruled out for Philadelphia’s 142-110 loss to Chicago. Embiid’s absence from this game marked his 38th missed game of the season.
The uncertainty of his return has left the struggling Sixers uncertain about their next steps—whether it’s rest, surgery, or playing through the pain, depending on test results.
Despite growing concerns, head coach Nick Nurse has denied rumors indicating that Joel Embiid will be out for the rest of the season.
