The Philadelphia 76ers are officially on tank watch. While the team will continue to compete for the final Play-In position, the decision to shut down Joel Embi

Embiid played just 39 games last season due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. The Sixers announced in early February of that season that he had undergone surgery. He came back in early April, participated in the Sixers' playoff run, and then won a gold medal with the U.S. Olympic team last year at the Paris Games.

It took until the end of February but Joel Embiid has finally been ruled out for the season. In the eyes of most, that is the right decision on the part of the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid is clearly not fit at the moment and had struggled to deal with knee issues all season, having several spells out on the sidelines.
