Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Pistons
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored a team-high 33 points on 11-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons. Embiid was 0-for-4 from three in the game, including a miss late in the fourth quarter that could have put the Sixers in front. He grabbed 11 rebounds and, with Ben Simmons (back) out, dished out seven assists while blocking three shots. Embiid remains a strong fantasy option on Wednesday against the Bucks, but Milwaukee is allowing opponents to shoot the sixth-lowest field goal percentage on two-point attempts, introducing some doubt into the equation. Still, Embiid remains the focal point of the team, especially if Simmons misses another game.
