Citing multiple sources, the Inquirer reported that the 76ers are planning for the likelihood of Embiid missing the season and are concerned that his latest setback could be career-threatening.
“I would say there’s a great possibility that Embiid won’t play next year,” one source told the paper. “Just think how long they sat him when they thought he was healthy.”
According to the Inquirer, the Sixers have not decided whether Embiid will undergo his latest foot surgery in North Carolina or at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery.
