Embiid’s season over with left knee problems

The Philadelphia 76ers said Wednesday before their game against the Miami Heat that is done for the season.

Monday’s MRI scan revealed the rookie center’s left-knee bone bruise has “improved significantly.” However, it showed the meniscus tear is the more pronounced of the two injuries and worse than the original diagnosis suggested.

Embiid hadn’t played since Jan. 27. He missed his first two NBA seasons with right foot issues, then finally made his debut this season and appeared in 31 games with the 76ers.

Embiid averaged 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds this season.
