76ers star Joel Embiid Dodged a Major Blow with Bone Bruise in Knee, Will Be Reevaluated in 2 weeks

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has a bone bruise on his left knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team announced on Saturday.

An MRI overnight revealed no structural damage to the knee that Embiid hyperextended in a victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night. Embiid underwent the MRI immediately after returning to Philadelphia late on Friday night.

Embiid left Friday night’s game when he hyperextended his left knee after landing with all his weight on his leg after a dunk in the third quarter.

How would the Sixers fair without Embiid
