Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid will undergo a procedure this week to repair a left meniscus injury, a team official told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

A recovery timeline is expected after the procedure but the expectation is the reigning Most Valuable Player will miss an extended period of time.

Embiid suffered the meniscus injury in his left knee during Tuesday night's loss to the Golden State Warriors when Jonathan Kuminga fell on his leg in the fourth quarter while going for a loose ball.
