Joel Embiid Out Of Hospital, No Timetable For Return

Joel Embiid was discharged from a Houston-area hospital on Friday after undergoing an appendectomy on Thursday. There is no timetable for Embiid’s return. “It is a tough blow,” coach Nick Nurse said. “I think that the biggest thing right now is that Joel comes out of the surgery as best as possible and all that goes well. That’s where most of my thoughts are right now.” The Sixers are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with one game left in the season.
