76ers' Joel Embiid: Undergoes successful knee surgery

Embiid (knee) underwent a successful knee surgery Friday, 76ers' Director of Public Relations Michael Preston reports.

Analysis:

The surgery addressed a meniscus tear in the big man's left knee. It focused on the removal of a small portion of his meniscus that was believed to be responsible for his symptoms. He is estimated to return to full weight-bearing activities in roughly two weeks, and a conservative approach going forward will be introduced from there. Bryan Colangelo, the 76ers' president of Basketball Operations, forecasts Embiid having a healthy return to basketball activity. At this point in time there is nothing to indicate the Kansas product will not be ready to go heading into training camp next season.
