6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid filled the stat sheet with 26 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals as well as three blocks in Friday night's victory over the Jazz. The 24-year-old made seven of 20 shots, one of four three-pointers and eight of nine free throws. Embiid, who finished with a plus-12 rating, did an excellent job on Utah's Rudy Gobert defensively. However, his rebound total is the second-worst output of the season while the 26 minutes that he was on the court is a season-low. The fourth-year pro has attempted 20 shots in each of the last two games and seven times overall. Embiid will look to post his third-straight double-double against Charlotte this season. The former Kansas Jayhawk has compiled 69 points, 33 caroms along with six blocks in the first two games this season versus the Hornets.--Daniel Benjamin
