Johni Broome News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Undergoes surgery Broome underwent a successful partial meniscectomy Saturday to address a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, per Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com.

Impact The procedure was performed by Dr. Riley Williams at HSS in New York, and the 76ers announced that Broome will be re-evaluated in four weeks. While the team previously noted that surgery could potentially end the rookie's season, a meniscectomy typically carries a shorter recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks compared to a full repair. Broome sustained the injury on Feb. 21 while playing for the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The second-round pick out of Auburn has appeared in just 11 games for Philadelphia this season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest.

Surgery scheduled for Saturday Broome is set to undergo meniscus surgery Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The 76ers will likely update Broome's timetable post-surgery, but head coach Nick Nurse said there's a chance this will end Broome's season. That said, he's been a negligible part of the rotation for the 76ers this year, so Broome's absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Recalled to NBA Philadelphia recalled Broome from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.

Impact Broome continues to split time between the 76ers and their G League affiliate, but only sees significant playing time with the Blue Coats. Dating all the way back to Nov. 30, Broome has logged just ten cumulative minutes on an NBA court, and it is very likely he will not play much if at all in the forseeable future.

Recalled from G League The 76ers recalled Broome from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact After being assigned to the G League on Friday, Broome will rejoin the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bucks. The rookie second-rounder has logged just nine minutes over two appearances with Philadelphia since the beginning of December, so he isn't guaranteed to see the court.

Plays career-high 17 minutes Broome ended with four points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 loss to the Magic.

Impact Broome took advantage of the lop-sided scoreline, called upon to play meaningful minutes down the stretch. Coming off a stellar college career, Broome has been unable to carve out a consistent role in Philadelphia. At this point, there is no indication he will feature on a nightly basis moving forward.

The rookie second-rounder could be available off the 76ers' bench for Sunday's game against the Heat, though he hasn't seen NBA regular-season action since Nov. 5 against the Cavaliers, when he played just one minute.

Off injury report Broome (ankle) did not appear on Thursday's official injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact The rookie second-rounder has missed the past three contests due to a right ankle sprain but is off the injury report for the first time since recording one minute against Cleveland on Nov. 5. The Auburn standout has only played six minutes this season, so he probably won't see much action although he is cleared to return.
