Embiid (knee) won't join the 76ers during their upcoming four-game road trip, which starts Wednesday in Phoenix and ends Monday in Sacramento, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Embiid, who underwent surgery Feb. 6 to address a left meniscus injury, continues to be limited to non-contact, walkthrough workouts and hopes to start ramping up for game action in April. It's not an unexpected development, as the reigning MVP was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks following the procedure. While Embiid doesn't have an exact return date, Philadelphia seems to be preparing to get him back for a potential playoff run. The 76ers currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, but they're one loss away from falling into the Play-In Tournament.
