PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers received a tough blow on Friday when they found out that superstar Joel Embiid will miss the rest of the season after only playing 19 games. The Sixers determined that he was medically unable to play the rest of the way and they now have to try and stack wins without their best player.

New Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George compares Joel Embiid to the other superstars he's played with in the past.

Joel Embiid is done for the season, at last shut down following the lingering effects of knee surgery. The final answer on the perpetual will-he or won’t-he play tonight question that canvassed the 76ers’ season came Friday when the Sixers said Embiid was “medically unable to play” and will focus on treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee.
