PHILADELPHIA -- Both Joel Embiid (calf) and James Harden (Achilles) returned to the lineup for the 76ers against the Dallas Mavericks at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.
Embiid, who missed Monday's showdown with fellow MVP front-runner Nikola Jokic in Denver -- a game that became Philadelphia's fourth loss in five games -- tested out the injury in his usual pregame workout about 50 minutes before tipoff and was deemed able to play.
Embiid, who is leading the league in scoring at 33.3 points per game, has been dealing with the calf issue since sitting out the second half of last Wednesday's victory in Chicago.
