Joel Embiid had missed three consecutive games with the flu. And we didn’t know if he’d be ready to roll when the Phoenix Suns came to town last week. But he returned to the lineup and basically made the statement with his play, that even though I may not be 100 percent, I’m here to demolish everyone in my path.
Now, the five-time All-Star is averaging 40 points, 11 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.7 blocks over his last four outings. Basically, since he claimed the season reallllly began, when he joked they got a fresh start.
