Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with a displaced flap of the meniscus in his left knee and could undergo surgery, The Athletic reported on Saturday.
Another option for the reigning NBA MVP would be to rest and rehab the injury instead of having a procedure on the knee.
Embiid was injured in the 76ers' loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday in his first game back after missing two contests due to an issue with his left knee.
Embiid is the NBA’s leading scorer with 35.3 points per game and is averaging 11.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 34 appearances.
He had a franchise-record 70 points to go along with 18 rebounds on Jan. 22 against the San Antonio Spurs.
