Joel Embiid is done for the season, at last shut down following the lingering effects of knee surgery. But plenty of hard questions remain in Philadelphia.

The 76ers will be adjusting to life without star center Joel Embiid for the foreseeable future. On Friday, the 76ers announced that Embiid has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. It marks the end of an injury-plagued year that saw the 30-year-old miss 37 of the team's first 56 games.

Last season, Embiid was in the midst of one of the most prolific individual campaigns in NBA history before tearing the meniscus in his left knee. He’s struggled this year to gain full strength.
