The Philadelphia 76ers went out in embarrassing fashion on Sunday, falling to the Boston Celtics in a 112-88 rout in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Sixers’ performance — if you can even call it that — was capped off by a dreadful night by their star and the NBA’s 2022-23 MVP, Joel Embiid. Embiid had just 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting and four turnovers in the contest that ended the Sixers’ season.
Embiid sat down with reporters postgame. After a game like that, there was probably nothing Embiid could have said that would have been satisfactory to disappointed Sixers fans.
