Joel Embiid Posts Impressive Double-Double in Brooklyn
7 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid looked like the spitting image of an All-Star on Wednesday, putting up a monster double-double in Brooklyn. Embiid led all scorers with 29 points on 8-for-19 shooting, including one three in his 35 minutes. In addition to the big scoring night, he also pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds in the loss. Embiid wasn't his typical across-the-board, stat-stuffing self, but he helped out with two assists and one block on the night. The Sixers showed some rare ball security in this one, but JoJo must not have received the memo, committing a team-high three miscues through four quarters. Expect Embiid to be especially entertaining on Friday, as he will likely resume his beef with Heat center Hassan Whiteside in Wells Fargo Arena.
