On Saturday, an MRI on Joel Embiid‘s left knee revealed a bone bruise with no structural damage, a source confirmed to The Athletic. The news was first reported by ESPN.
Despite the positive diagnosis, Embiid will miss some time. The team announced he will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Embiid suffered a hyper-extension of his left knee when falling after a dunk in the third quarter of Friday night’s 127-101 win over the Wizards. He fell to the ground after a mid-air collision with Garrison Mathews which caused Embiid to lose his balance and land awkwardly, with all his weight on his left leg.
