PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will undergo an unspecified procedure this week to correct the injury to the lateral meniscus in his left knee.
The 76ers did not say on Sunday night how much time Embiid was expected to miss.
Embiid hurt his left knee Tuesday night in a loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Embiid already has missed 13 games this season, all but ending his chances of being eligible for a second straight MVP award.
