Last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, Joel Embiid registered his best game of the season for the Philadelphia 76ers. He logged 39 points on 12-for-23 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds, and got to the free throw line 18 times. It was a vintage performance, and it's exactly the kind of night Sixers fans need to see him have more often if this team's going to become a true contender once again.
The start to the season was rough for Embiid, and some had begun to wonder if he had lost a step. While injuries may still affect him to some degree, he's proven that he can still put up these kinds of dominant evenings.
