(AP) — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Wednesday, and the team said he will be re-evaluated in about six weeks.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee earlier this week, the team announced on Friday. He'll be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid was ruled out for the season back on Feb. 28 after playing in only 19 games. He had a bothersome left knee problem that hampered him in the games he did play as he did not look anywhere like himself.
