Embiid's Health Critical to 76ers' 2024-25 Hopes
Joel Embiid played only 19 games for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2024-25 season before arthroscopic knee surgery, contributing to the team's 24-58 record and their first missed playoffs since 2016-17. Despite Embiid not yet returning to full basketball activities, Sixers president Daryl Morey remains optimistic about his availability for training camp and the season opener, though uncertainty about his readiness persists. Embiid has appeared in public looking leaner, sparking speculation about his recovery. NBA analyst Richard Jefferson and others have labeled the Sixers a 'high variance team,' emphasizing that their success depends on Embiid's health and adaptability, with comparisons drawn to Tim Duncan's management of knee issues. The Sixers have made offseason moves to boost their talent and roster flexibility. However, the franchise's hopes in the open Eastern Conference largely depend on Embiid's ability to return to MVP form despite lingering doubts about his durability.
