The cataclysm of Joel Embiid is confirmed

Joel Embiid will miss the rest of the regular season due to persistent issues in his left knee, which has not responded well to treatment. Despite trying to play through pain and receiving multiple injections, the inflammation and discomfort increased, affecting both his performance and that of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Cameroonian played only 39 games last season after a meniscus injury and surgery in February. He returned in April, played in the playoffs, and won the Olympic gold with the USA but admitted he didn't have enough time to recover.

Philadelphia, which started with title aspirations, is going through a crisis with nine consecutive losses and a record of 20-38. The only positive aspect of this losing streak is that they could potentially end up securing a top 6 protected pick in the Draft.

Individually, Embiid had one of his worst seasons with averages of 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and career lows in blocks, shooting percentage, and win shares. It's hard to think that we haven't already seen his best games.
