76ers’ Joel Embiid has successful knee surgery, to be re-evaluated in 4 weeks

New York Times  

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid underwent successful surgery in the lateral meniscus in his left knee, the team announced Tuesday. Embiid will be re-evaluated in four weeks, but league sources tell The Athletic’s Shams Charania that Embiid could be sidelined for up to two months, based on his rehab and recovery. Embiid’s surgery addressed a displaced flap of the meniscus, and he will be sidelined for an extended period, league sources told The Athletic on Sunday. Embiid injured his knee in the fourth quarter of the 76ers’ loss to the Golden State Warriors last week, when Jonathan Kuminga fell on his left leg, just below the knee.
