Joel Embiid has suffered a setback with his right foot injury after missing the entire season, the Philadelphia 76ers announced Saturday.

Embiid and Sixers personnel traveled to Los Angeles for a series of routine exams and a standard CT scan on his right foot revealed less healing than anticipated, according to Sam Hinkie.

"Our priority remains providing Joel with every opportunity to ensure he has a long and successful NBA career, and as such, these findings cause us to pause and reassess his current activities," Hinkie said in a statement. "Together with Joel and his representatives, we will continue to consult with the experienced team of doctors who have been an integral part of his evaluations, while also engaging in dialogue with a broader set of experts and specialists.

"Discussions regarding the appropriate next steps are currently ongoing and we will share an update once it becomes available."
