Joel Embiid's knee injury could be a lot worse than imagined, as recent speculation suggested that he could miss the start of training camp.

The Philadelphia 76ers have long envisioned an NBA title run built around All-Star center Joel Embiid. But that dream has been repeatedly derailed by Embiid’s history of injuries. According to a recent report, the team now holds “genuine concern” about the ongoing issues with the Cameroonian star’s knee.

Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid had a miserable 2024-25 season as he limped his way through 19 games dealing with a bothersome left knee. He just clearly wasn't himself and his teammates certainly noticed throughout a miserable 24-58 season.
