76ers Will Re-Evaluate Joel Embiid In Four Weeks
3 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) underwent a procedure on his left meniscus on Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. The extent of Embiid's procedure remains unclear, but it's worth noting The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on Monday that the "hope is that Embiid misses one to two months." It leaves Embiid's rest-of-season fantasy outlook very murky, but season-long managers need to stash the 29-year-old superstar's 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, and 2.9 combined steals and blocks per game. The Sixers could now turn to the trade market ahead of Thursday's deadline for reinforcements at the center position, but Paul Reed needs to be held in all leagues until then despite his recent struggles.
