Joel Embiid posts 26 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists as 76ers beat Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 26 points (10-of-19 field goals, 6-of-7 free throws) with 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers in 35.0 minutes of Thursday's 89-80 win over the Boston Celtics.
Embiid showed he was more than worthy of his first All-Star bid with a superb performance on Thursday night. With the 76ers now considering playing the big man in back-to-back sets moving forward, he should remain an elite fantasy asset for owners.
