Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is a rare breed in the NBA. The 7-foot big man just has the ability to do it all while out on the floor as he can take a defender off the dribble, he can knock down jumpers, he gets to the free-throw line, and he makes it all look easy.
In Friday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Embiid had 35 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists. He shot 13-for-26 from the floor and he was 8-for-9 from the foul line as well. It was an overall very solid offensive performance for him.
In the process, Embiid made some franchise history with his 123rd game with 30+ points. He passed the great Julius Erving for the fourth most 30-point games in Sixers franchise history, per StatMuse.
Per StatMuse, the top 5 players with the most 30-point games in #Sixers history are:
1.) Allen Iverson 303
2.) Charles Barkley 154
3.) Hal Greer 146
4.) Joel Embiid 123
5.) Julius Erving 122— Ky Carlin (@Ky_Carlin) December 3, 2022
Embiid and the Sixers are 0-2 to begin this road trip and they will be looking to at least salvage a game on the trip on Monday when they pay a visit to the Houston Rockets. Philadelphia will be hoping to have James Harden back in the fold as well.
