To win the playoffs, Joel Embiid wants to play as much as possible

For his fourth match since his return from injury, and after skipping the match against Spurs, Joel Embiid was able to stretch his legs against the Pistons, with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in the victory for the Sixers. Above all, he was able to increase pressure in the second half, while Detroit was back in the game.

“I felt good physically. In the third quarter, I started to feel it in my legs and we pulled away. I told myself it was time to push a little. It was the right time to make an effort and take back control. It felt good”, he explains.

The 2023 MVP therefore finished the game with 36 minutes, his highest total in the week since he returned to the court. While there are two matches left to play, against Orlando and Brooklyn, and normally, he should save time, Joel Embiid is watching these two matches with appetite.

Aim for a playing time of around 35-40 minutes

Already because the Sixers, currently in 7th place in the East, can still hope to qualify directly for the playoffs. Then especially because he needs to find rhythm again, after missing two months of competition.

” Play. Stack the minutes as much as possible,” announces the pivot. “Exceed thirty minutes, like in this match. The next one, I hope it won't be too tight, but if it is, exceed 35 minutes and try to get 40. Same for the last match. I can't afford to do a lot of things on my days off because I have to limit my workload, so I have to use meetings for that. »
