Adam Aaronson: Unsurprisingly, Joel Embiid will not play at Madison Square Garden tomorrow. Neither will Guerschon Yabusele, Kyle Lowry or Eric Gordon. Speaking of Gordon, the veteran sharpshooter is headed for surgery, per the Sixers. No timeline offered on him yet. phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-an… -via Twitter @SixersAdam / February 25, 2025
Doctors with whom The Inquirer spoke over the past weeks say that some of these procedures require six months to a year before an athlete can return to full action, and that any return will invariably come with long-term limitations. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 25, 2025
