Joel Embiid Puts Together Big Performance Against Serbia
4 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid cashed in his best performance of the Olympics when Team USA needed it most in the semifinals. Against his rival, Nikola Jokic, Embiid put up the second-most points on the team while boasting one of the highest plus/minus stats on the night. The former MVP registered 19 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one block while shooting 8-for-11 from the floor and 2-for-3 from deep. His performance at the Olympics has been up and down, but one of the biggest reasons he was included on this team was to go up against bigger centers like Jokic and the two seven-footers they'll have to face in the gold medal game against France.
