Despite starting the season with a 29–13 record and within a half game of the 2nd seed of the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid tore his lateral meniscus in a game against the Warriors on January 30, after already missing a few games due to an unrelated injury. The 76ers struggled during his absence, going 11–22 in that span and dropping to the 8th seed; Embiid returned on April 2 in a 109–105 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite winning their final 8 games, the 76ers were unable to climb higher then the 7th seed, but clinched a playoff spot with a win over the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament on April 17.
