Nick Nurse expressed disappointment with 76ers center Joel Embiid being sidelined for the remainder of the season. “Not what we hoped,” the coach said before Saturday’s game against the Golden State Warriors at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Philadelphia 76ers are fighting to stay afloat without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George in the lineup. All three stars are injured, as are several role players, and the rest of the roster has had to pick up a lot of slack.

Joel Embiid is out for the rest of the 2024-25 NBA season due to a knee injury, further impacting the Philadelphia 76ers' already struggling season. The team faces multiple injuries, affecting key players like Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.

Embiid and the team have been considering alternative options, including another surgery, for his left knee which hasn’t regained full strength following meniscus surgery last February.
