Joel Embiid is done for the season, at last shut down following the lingering effects of knee surgery. But plenty of hard questions remain in Philadelphia.

Last season, Embiid was in the midst of one of the most prolific individual campaigns in NBA history before tearing the meniscus in his left knee. He’s struggled this year to gain full strength.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse told reporters on Saturday prior to the team's game against the Golden State Warriors that star big man Joel Embiid did not suffer a setback before the team shut him down for the remainder of the season due to a lingering left knee injury.
