Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Rockets
5 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) made his return to the lineup and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Friday's 118-108 loss to the Rockets. The 25-year-old went 7-for-17 from field goal range and 0-for-3 from deep while Rockets center Clint Capela went off for a huge performance, suggesting that the fourth year big man may not have been at full strength in the contest. Nonetheless, Embiid managed to produce his 24th double-double of the campaign, while extending his streak of 20+ point performances to 11 consecutive games. Embiid has posted early-round fantasy value and should be started across all formats moving forward.
