Meanwhile, Joel Embiid was ruled out for the remainder of the season on Feb. 28 to focus on the treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee. At the time, the Sixers said the team and medical specialist would continue working with Embiid to ensure the best path for his long-term health and performance. Asked Sunday, Nurse said there wasn’t an update.

I kind of just got up to speed on all of it today.

I think we’re close to that point of him making a decision on which route he’s going to take. Just not quite there yet.” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / March 27, 2025
