It has been nearly a year since Jonathan Kuminga inadvertently fell on Embiid’s left knee, causing a meniscus tear that required surgery and that the former MVP is still managing today.

Last Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers saw their seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid go down with a potential injury in just his second game back after a seven-game absence. Embiid went to the locker room and was ruled out for the entire second half after getting hit in the face.

The 76ers received an important injury update on Tuesday ahead of their upcoming Christmas Day game against the Celtics.
