Reports: Embiid To Have Surgery, Miss Season

7/11/2015

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Joel Embiid is expected to undergo a second surgery on his right foot after suffering a setback in the healing of the injury. The surgery would likely put Embiid out for his second straight season and further delay his NBA debut.

With Embiid likely out for another full season with a career-threatening injury, the Sixers' drafting of Duke center Jahlil Okafor looks more and more like a wise choice.
The 19-year-old Okafor is expected to be a key cog in the Sixers' rebuilding process much like they had hoped Embiid would be. There is still a good chance Embiid can go on to a successful career, but these types of injuries are never good, especially for a 7-footer.

Here's hoping for the best for JoJo.
