Joel Embiid undergoes successful minor arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee to repair a meniscus tear on Friday. Embiid is expected to be cleared this summer for basketball activities and should be back for training camp. Embiid should be the starting center on opening night. (NBA.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Embiid is a must hold in dynasty leagues and his re-draft stock will be in the early rounds with the risk of re-injury an obvious concern. Embiid was undrafted in some leagues this past season and those teams who grabbed him were happy with his play until he went down with the knee injury. His return hurts Jahlil Okafor and Richaun Holmes moving forward.
