Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
April 2025
Joel Embiid had successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will be reevaluated in six weeks, capping a difficult, injury-riddled season for the 76ers star.
Limited to just 19 games due to multiple injuries and a suspension, Embiid’s latest setback comes as the Sixers finish a disappointing season. The injury-hit trio of Embiid, George, and Maxey played only 15 games together.
Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers)
Out since March 3; season-ending status confirmed April 4
Maxey will miss the rest of the 2024-25 season due to a finger tendon injury that has not responded to rehab.
Despite attempts to manage the discomfort, the All-Star guard requires further treatment and joins an extensive list of sidelined Sixers, including Joel Embiid and Paul George. Maxey averaged a career-high 26.3 PPG in 52 games and was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player.
Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
Surgery set for next week; reevaluation in six weeks
Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, ending a season plagued by injuries and limited to just 19 games. He averaged 23.8 points and 8.2 rebounds, far below his MVP form.
Persistent knee issues since 2023 worsened after a collision with Jonathan Kuminga in January. Despite efforts to manage his load, the injury never healed, forcing him to shut down. The 76ers now face a 65% chance of keeping their top-six protected draft pick as they spiral down the standings.

Tyrese Maxey will miss two more games due to a finger sprain and ongoing back issues, extending his absence to 15 games.
The All-Star guard has not played since March 3. Despite a career-high 26.3 PPG season, his injury absence has coincided with the 76ers losing six straight and nearing elimination from the play-in race.
Quentin Grimes, Philadelphia 76ers
March 2025
Grimes delivered a career-best 46-point performance, setting a franchise record for points, rebounds, and 3-pointers in a game.
Acquired from Dallas in February, Grimes has averaged 21.6 PPG since securing a rotation spot, making a strong case for a long-term role in Philadelphia’s core.
