Joel Embiid met up with the Philadelphia 76ers in Los Angeles last weekend when they were in town for back-to-back games against the Clippers and Lakers.

Embiid met with one of his doctors there to check out the torn meniscus in his left knee.

Embiid stayed behind in Los Angeles with Dr. David Martin, the Sixers' director of performance research and development, and the two traveled to San Diego to see another specialist.

There is no timetable for any treatment of Embiid's injury and they want him to be seen by as many specialists as possible.

Surgery hasn't been something the Sixers have discussed, but according to two orthopedic surgeons, it would seem probable. A minor repair would result in a six-to-eight week recovery but a bigger tear could mean a six-eight month recovery. The 76ers have contended that the tear is "slight" and "minor".
