Joel Embiid rebroke the same bone in his right foot that cost him his rookie season with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to the Philadelphia Daily News' Bob Cooney:
Of course, there is the impending surgery on Joel Embiid's right foot, which should be any day. Sources have confirmed to the Daily News that the navicular bone in his right foot was rebroken.
Embiid had two screws inserted into the navicular bone in June 2014, just before the NBA Draft. The Sixers selected him No. 3 overall, and he had to miss the entire 2014-15 season. They recently announced that he'll miss all of the 2015-16 season, as he needs to have surgery again.
It's obvious that rebreaking that same bone is horrible news for Embiid and for Philadelphia. He has the potential to be a franchise-changing player, and he hasn't played any sort of competitive basketball since March 1, 2014. The hope is that he'll be ready for the 2016-17 season, but it's impossible not to worry about his career.
