Nick Nurse on Joel Embiid: ‘I think we’re close to that point of him making a decision on which route he’s going to take’

Meanwhile, Joel Embiid was ruled out for the remainder of the season on Feb. 28 to focus on the treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee. At the time, the Sixers said the team and medical specialist would continue working with Embiid to ensure the best path for his long-term health and performance. Asked Sunday, Nurse said there wasn’t an update. However, the coach gave a small one on Wednesday. “I don’t want to speak definitively — I think he’s done seeing all the specialists,” Nurse said. “There may be one or — and those kind of turn into more discussions. I kind of just got up to speed on all of it today. But yeah, I think it’s kind of, like, decision time, and there’s so many opinions and weighing all that out and seeing exactly what’s going to happen. I think we’re close to that point of him making a decision on which route he’s going to take. Just not quite there yet.”
