Joel Embiid Returns With 24 Points
4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers Joel Embiid ended a 10-game absence on Saturday, producing a solid 24-point effort in 29 minutes in a win over Minnesota. He added eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals while shooting 6-for-14 from the field and 12-for-17 at the foul line. The Sixers have to be careful with him, so there's a chance he sits when Philly plays Memphis on Sunday. Next week starts with a battle against the Celtics for Embiid, who has crushed Boston this season by averaging 40 points and 10.5 rebounds per game on 67.6 percent shooting.
