ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Sunday evening that Embiid is “considering alternative options, such as surgery, for his injured left knee.” Embiid has been receiving regular injections in his knee in an attempt to remain on the court, but he’s still far from 100%.

The Philadelphia 76ers should consider shutting down center Joel Embiid for the rest of the season after his latest injury news.

Joel Embiid completed new imaging on his injured left knee and has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bulls, sources told ESPN.

The Philadelphia 76ers have lost seven consecutive games, are 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-36 record and have very little margin for error if they still stand a chance at making the playoffs, which is likely only possible with a successful run through the Play-In Tournament.
