76ers center Joel Embiid suffered a setback with his right foot injury, but an industry source is now reporting that Embiid won’t need another surgery on the repaired limb.

Skversky’s report conflicts with what Dei Lynam stated about 76ers brass not knowing if Embiid will need to go under the knife once more.
an NBA source told me surgery is still being discussed. If Embiid requires another surgery, the 7-foot-1 center will probably be sidelined for a second straight season.
