6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) looked sluggish throughout the night, and it showed in the box score as the big man had a night to forget in the lopsided Game 5 loss to the Raptors. Embiid scored just 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting but grabbed just six rebounds with a block and a steal with eight turnovers in 31 minutes. Embiid was not himself, as he settled for six three-point attempts and rarely got the ball on the low block. Embiid did tell rapper Drake as he was heading off the court that they would be back for Game 7, so we can assume Embiid will come out much more aggressively on Thursday when the series shifts back to Philly.--Gianni Costantiello
