PHILADELPHIA -- Returning to the court eight weeks to the day after undergoing a procedure on the lateral meniscus in his left knee, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid admitted that the mental recovery process from this injury was as difficult as any he's gone through across his NBA career.

"Usually, when I have injuries, I just tell myself, move on to the next one, get better, and then fix it," Embiid, who finished with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 6 turnovers in a 109-105 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder here at Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night.
