Sixers set to soldier on without Embiid

MIAMI - Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid's season is over because of left knee problems, including a torn meniscus that is worse than the team first thought.

Embiid hadn't played since Jan 27, and the 76ers originally said his return was likely later this week.

But an MRI performed on Monday showed the meniscus problem was worse than the original diagnosis suggested, and after reviewing that information the 76ers decided to end his season.
