Philadelphia: It was quite the game! Joel Embiid made his return after missing seven games due to knee issues. He started off a bit shaky, missing his first seven shots. But once the second quarter hit, he found his groove.
Embiid scored 19 points in that quarter alone, looking like his old self. He ended the game with 31 points and 12 rebounds, leading the 76ers to a 108-100 win over the Bulls.
After the game, Embiid opened up about how tough it’s been for him. He described the last few months as “depressing” while trying to manage his knee. He’s been eager to get back on the court and play every game.
His presence really helped Tyrese Maxey, who had an amazing game too, achieving his first career triple-double. Together, they took charge in the final moments, helping the 76ers win four out of their last five games.
Things are looking up for Philly, especially if Embiid can stay healthy. They’ve got a little break now before facing the struggling Indiana Pacers on Friday.
