Joel Embiid will likely miss the 2015-16 season due to a second surgery after the latest setback in the healing of his right foot, according to several sources.

“I would say there’s a great possibility that Embiid won’t play next year,” the source said. “Just think how long they sat him when they thought he was healthy.”

The Philadelphia 76ers are planning as if Embiid won’t play this season, according to sources.

Another source said the franchise is concerned that this setback could be career-threatening.
