The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tight race for an Eastern Conference playoff spot, and the return of star Joel Embiid is a promising boost for the team.
Embiid scored 35 points, provided seven assists, and grabbed six rebounds in his comeback from an oblique injury that sidelined him for 13 games. He achieved this in just 28 minutes during the 76ers’ 157-137 victory over the Chicago Bulls, who currently lead the Heat by one game for the sixth seed and are only half a game behind the Raptors for the last non-Play-In Tournament position.
After the game, Embiid shared an update on his health with some mixed feelings.
“My knees haven’t been a problem for some time. That’s behind me,” he noted.
“The oblique is still tricky. There’s really nothing to do but hope it doesn’t worsen.”
This leads us to today’s quiz. If the Sixers make it into the official postseason with a healthy Joel Embiid, he has shown he can perform well in the playoffs. He is one of only 51 players in NBA history to score at least 50 points in a playoff game. How many of these players can you name in six minutes?
Good luck!
