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.

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.

At 31-years-old, these knee issues could become very damaging to the back end of Embiid’s career. In those 19 games last season, Embiid averaged just 23.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, his lowest points per game total since the 2017-18 season, his second full season in the NBA.
