Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been sidelined with left knee swelling, missing multiple games and practices. He missed the game against the Jazz and will also miss the game against the Hawks. There are concerns about his eligibility for NBA awards due to the number of games missed. Reports suggest that his knee issue could be a long-term injury, requiring four to six weeks for recovery. However, he has been seen at practice without any visible knee issues and is expected to play in the upcoming games.
For those curious, Embiid has missed 10 of 37 games. So he's *on pace* for well over the 18. If he comes back Monday and plays through All-Star the numbers will stabilize a bit. https://t.co/TMVrJSiQTa
