Joel Embiid played 38:33 and scored 21 points with 11 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-109 on Wednesday night. Embiid, the 2023 MVP, said he feels great but acknowledged the need to manage his minutes carefully after a history of injuries limited him to 38 games last season.
Monday marked the 10-year anniversary of Embiid's NBA debut, which took place on October 26, 2016, against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He recalled the debut fondly, remembering scoring 20 points in 20 minutes and the overwhelming support from fans, following more than two years of injuries and personal loss.
