Joel Embiid Dominates Against New Orleans
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid crushed the Pelicans on Monday with 42 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in a 120-111 win. There were fears of him potentially missing the game, as Embiid was on the injury report with a lower back issue, but it looks like the ailment didn't bother him at all, with the Sixers star recording his sixth 40-point effort of the campaign on 15-for-24 shooting. He was 2-for-3 from downtown and 10-for-10 at the line, collecting one steal and one block on the defensive end. Three of Embiid's 40-point outings have come in his past six appearances, and he could have another monster night on Wednesday against the Pacers, who are allowing the fourth-most points in the league to centers this season.
