Embiid drops 50, Sixers escape D.C. with tight win over Wizards

Welcome back, well, everybody.

The Sixers got back in the win column when they knocked off the Wizards 131-126 Wednesday night. After missing the past two games, Joel Embiid dropped 50 points for the first time this season.

He did it shooting 19-of-28 from the floor while also adding 12 rebounds and seven assists.

Tyrese Maxey, who also missed a game due to illness, dropped 26 points on an even 10-of-20 shooting on the night.

The most notable return was Kelly Oubre Jr., who played just over 19 minutes in his first game since Nov.
