Joel Embiid is expected to return from left knee surgery in early April.
Injured Sixers center Joel Embiid during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, March 8, 2024 in Philadelphia.
All that is on par with the Sixers’ original timeline of six to eight weeks. Eight weeks out from the Feb. 6 surgery would be April 2. The Sixers will host the Oklahoma City Thunder that night at the Wells Fargo Center. From there, the team will have a three-game road trip at the Miami Heat , the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs before finishing the season with a three-game homestand.
Right now, there’s a strong possibility the Sixers will have to compete in the Play-In Tournament, which runs April 16-19. The NBA playoffs will be April 20.I appreciate that question, Kaz. They did try to address it by seeking a trade with the Chicago Bulls for Andre Drummond. While talks broke down, sources said the Sixers were extremely interested in bringing the center back to Philly. They’re also set to add Kai Jones to a 10-day contract.
Benching him could also lead to Nurse losing Harris when the coach is going to need his buy-in if they reach the playoffs. So the best thing they can do is try to get him easy baskets and put him in positions to succeed.Q: Should the Sixers punt the rest of the season, shut down Embiid, and retool with their cap space for next year? —@k_sharp12That’s a great question, Kyle. While watching Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks, I was under the impression the Sixers already decided to punt the season.
