The Philadelphia 76ers will take the court against the Golden State Warriors on March 1st for the first time since officially ruling Joel Embiid out for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season. The team confirmed earlier this week that Embiid will not return this year as he continues treatment and rehabilitation for ongoing issues with his left knee.
Embiid Officially Shut Down for Season
After weeks of speculation, the Sixers released an official statement, confirming that their franchise cornerstone will miss the rest of the season to focus on recovery.
"The Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid have been consulting with top specialists regarding ongoing issues with his left knee. After further evaluation, it has been determined that he is medically unable to play and will miss the remainder of the season to focus on treatment and rehabilitation."
The team added that further medical updates will be provided once a treatment plan is finalized.
"We are working with medical experts to determine the exact treatment plan and will update media when we have more information. The team and specialists will continue working with Joel to ensure the best path forward for his long-term health and performance."
A Season of Setbacks for Philadelphia
The 2024-25 season has been brutal for the 76ers, with injuries derailing their championship hopes from the start. Alongside Embiid’s absence, the team has dealt with long-term injuries to Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, leaving them struggling to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Through 19 games this season, Embiid posted 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, but his 44/30/88 shooting splits were a clear indication that he was far from his usual MVP-caliber self.
76ers Face Warriors Without Their Superstar
Now officially without Embiid for the rest of the year, the Sixers will lean on Maxey, George, and Tobias Harris to carry the load. But with Golden State surging behind Steph Curry and a healthy roster, Philadelphia faces an uphill battle on the road.
These developments prompted Dimers’ analysts to revisit their 76ers vs. Warriors predictions and player stat projections, incorporating updated information about Embiid.
