The Philadelphia 76ers have been operating just fine in the way they have been managing the load of Joel Embiid this season. The coaching staff, as well as the medical team, have concocted a well-thought out plan to keep him as fresh as possible by holding him out of back-to-backs and limiting his minutes early on.
However, things remain as delicate as ever when it comes to his health. In fact, Embiid has reportedly faced another setback as he has encountered some swelling in his right knee, although the 76ers dodged a bullet. As reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the superstar was re-evaluated and it was revealed that there is no structural damage on his right knee.
