MIAMI (AP) " Philadelphia center Joel Embiid's season is over because of left knee problems, including a torn meniscus that is worse than the 76ers first thought. "He's got good people around him," 76ers coach Brett Brown said Wednesday before Philadelphia visited the Miami Heat. 3 overall pick in the 2014 draft still could win the award, given how dominant he looked at times this season. Despite the fact that Embiid will miss 62 percent of Philadelphia's games, Brown still believes Embiid is rookie-award worthy " as is his 76ers teammate Dario Saric. "I get the duration of games," Brown said.
