Joel Embiid Has A Quiet Night Against Utah
Joel Embiid stayed relatively quiet by his standards on Thursday against the Jazz, settling for 19 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block. He shot 8-for-18 from the field and 1-for-4 from behind the arc with one turnover in 30 minutes. Philly completed a back-to-back set, so it's possible that this was the main reason why Embiid was a bit sluggish. Philly's star center will close the week with a tricky matchup against Golden State, but he should be in great form at the start of next week when the Sixers meet the Grizzlies, who own the worst defensive numbers in the league against opposing centers.
