Embiid injured the meniscus of his left knee on Tuesday in his team’s loss to Golden State. Philadelphia did not specify how long Embiid will be sidelined. The former season MVP of the NBA has already missed 13 games this season, making it clear that he won’t be able to defend his title, as under the new collective bargaining agreement, players must play 65 games in the regular season to remain eligible for the MVP race and the All-Star weekend, according to Beta news agency. Embiid is currently the leading scorer in the NBA.
