Philadelphia: partial meniscus surgery for Johni Broome

The procedure, performed on Saturday, was a partial meniscectomy. Consequently, the team announced that Broome will be re-evaluated in exactly four weeks to determine his rehabilitation progress.

Selected 35th overall in the 2025 Draft, Broome suffered the injury a week prior while playing for the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League. After considering various medical options, he opted for this specific procedure to ensure better long-term stability.

While his NBA exposure has been restricted to eleven brief appearances, Broome has excelled in the G League. Across 26 games, he averaged 21.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and over three assists, showcasing his versatility on both ends of the floor. These impressive statistics highlight why the Sixers view him as a valuable asset for their future rotation despite this temporary setback in his development.
