Embiid vows to return soon, says Process has been 'postponed'

Always trust the process, even when it's on hiatus.

Rookie center Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers was recently shut down for the rest of the 2016-17 season after an MRI on his left knee revealed a more problematic meniscus tear than the last scan detected.

Never fear, Sixers fans, because the 22-year-old promised Thursday night that he'll return.

Embiid tagged "meniscus" as his location in the photo, proving that even under rotten circumstances, he can maintain his sense of humor.

He averaged 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in just 25.4 minutes per game this season for the now 22-38 76ers.
