Joel Embiid Posts Ridiculous Career-High 59-11-8-7 Stat Line in 76ers’ Win

Take a bow, Joel Embiid! A massive scoring output over the weekend in the NBA culminated with the best of them all — a 59-point night from the 76ers’ big man. Philly beat Utah (105-98) for their third win in four games. Embiid went 19-for-28 from the floor and 20-for-24 from the free-throw line while adding 11 boards, eight assists, and seven blocks to complete a masterful stat line. He’s the first player to post a 50-10-5-5 game since blocks started being tracked in the 70s. Embiid also had a 42-point night on Saturday, giving him 101 points in less than 24 hours. After a few weeks, Philly is starting to hit their stride.
