Joel Embiid Puts Up 24 Points In 26 Minutes
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid tallied 24 points, 10 rebounds, three assists over 26 minutes in Wednesday's victory over the Knicks. He was 10-for-17 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free throw line. The 24-year-old, who is shooting just 18.8 percent from the three-point line over his last five games, did not attempt a three-point shot versus the Knicks and only attempted four shots outside the paint in the game. His four turnovers give him 23 over the last five games, and he has now committed at least four turnovers in six of his eight December outings. Embiid has struggled shooting the ball against the Raptors, who the Sixers play on Saturday, in the teams two matchups this season. However, he is still averaging solid numbers across the board against them with 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
