Joel Embiid Expected to Return to 76ers in Late March

The team has faced challenges without the reigning MVP, impacting their playoff positioning.

Joel Embiid, the reigning NBA MVP, is expected to return to the Philadelphia 76ers in late March following surgery on his left knee.
The 76ers have struggled without Embiid, going 7-17 in the 24 games he has missed since his injury on January 30.
Embiid's return is seen as crucial for the team's playoff aspirations, with the 76ers currently positioned sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.
The team is hopeful Embiid's return will bolster their performance, especially as they aim to avoid the play-in tournament.
Embiid was having an MVP-caliber season before his injury, averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game.
