Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid will undergo surgery to repair a left meniscus injury and is expected to miss an extended period of time, according to reports. The injury is a blow to Embiid's MVP chances, as he will likely be ineligible for the award due to the missed games. Embiid has been the best player in the league this season, averaging impressive stats.

Losing Embiid is also a tough break for the Sixers, who have been relying on his dominant play. Replacement players have struggled to replicate his success.
