Since the start of his career, Joel Embiid has a long history of injury preventing him to probably reach his full potential. <\/p>

Ruled out for the rest of the pre-season because of a knee injury, Joel Embiid will probably be sidelined in back-to-back game this season. <\/p>

\n

“If I had to guess,” Embiid said via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps<\/a>, “I would probably never play back-to-backs the rest of my career.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

In total, Joel Embiid has only played in 433 of a possible 637 games since getting drafted in 2014 by the 76ers.<\/p>

Joel Embiid history of injuries<\/h2>

Joel Embiid’s NBA career has been heavily impacted by a string of injuries since he was drafted in 2014. <\/p>

His injury troubles began before he even set foot on an NBA court. He suffered a stress fracture in his right foot, which required surgery and led him to miss his first two professional seasons entirely. <\/p>

Unfortunately, his recovery from this foot injury was prolonged by a setback in 2015, further delaying his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>

In 2017, after showing great promise in his delayed rookie season, Embiid faced another major injury: a meniscus tear in his left knee that required surgery, limiting him to just 31 games. <\/p>

This knee issue has been a recurring theme, with additional injuries and soreness leading to missed games throughout his career. <\/p>

Despite these setbacks, Embiid has managed to achieve MVP-caliber seasons, though not without further interruptions. <\/p>

In 2021, he played through a small meniscus tear in his right knee during the playoffs, showcasing his determination despite the risks involved.<\/p>

Embiid’s injuries haven’t been limited to his lower body. He suffered a fractured left orbital bone in 2018, leading him to wear a protective mask, and in 2020, a torn ligament in his left hand required surgery. Other injuries, such as shoulder strains, knee soreness, and back tightness, have kept him out of games intermittently.<\/p>

When will Joel Embiid play again for the 76ers ? <\/h2>

As being sidelined for the rest of the pre-season as a precautionary move, we can expect Embiid to play in regular season debut against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 23rd. <\/p>

This would also mark Paul George<\/a><\/strong>‘s first game with the 76ers since signing his 4 year contract with the team during the summer. <\/p>
