While the regular season has been underway for two months now, Joel Embiid only played against the Hornets in his seventh game… Blame it on injuries obviously, the latest being this facial fracture that occurred against Indiana last week. This is why he was masked for his return to the courts.
The presence of the object on his face posed no problem for the 2023 MVP to dominate his subject. The latter scored 34 points at 12/24 shooting, with an additional 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 interceptions and 2 blocks, all in just 31 minutes on the floor.
“He looked good”, notes Nick Nursewho has already indicated the package of his star for the duel against the Cavaliers this Saturday evening. “He scored points after getting off to a bit of a slow start. He made a lot of passes, especially early on. He was really good. »
Above all, in the last quarter, the Hornets became more threatening and while Paul George was clumsy, Joel Embiid carried his team with 12 points and 5 rebounds in eight minutes, to ensure the victory for Philadelphia.
