Joel Embiid Records Triple-Double Against Orlando
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 19 points on 6-for-20 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. He was 4-for-7 from three after opening the game 3-for-3 from deep, and he grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds to go along with 10 assists. The numbers hide some of Embiid's offensive struggles after a good first quarter, but it was still a rewarding night for fantasy owners. Embiid will get a chance to keep this pace up against the Jazz on Friday, but while a matchup with Rudy Gobert hasn't been as rough this year as it was last season, it's still a variable that lowers some of Embiid's ceiling.
