Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers will have to undergo surgery following a severe injury. The center suffered an injury to one of his meniscus and his return to the field has no date.

He says goodbye to the race for the best player of the season award. The Sixers are left without their star at a time of poor results heading into the Playoffs. In this way, if the Sixers aspire to qualify for the playoffs, they will need to find a way to turn their page on their star.
