Joel Embiid Records Five Blocks In Return
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) returned to the floor for Game 2 versus the Celtics. The 2022-23 MVP logged 27 minutes, finishing with 15 points. He shot a rough 4-for-9 from the field while failing to sink either of his attempts from deep. However, he went 7-for-8 from the charity stripe and had five blocks. Embiid, who hasn't been available since injuring his knee on April 20, likely had some residual rust from the lengthy layoff, so there's a good chance he will play better in Game 3 on Friday.
