Joel Embiid says body feels 'fine' after first back-to-back of season

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't get the win Saturday night, but they did have something small to celebrate as star Joel Embiid played in both games of a back-to-back for the first time in his career.

Embiid finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds in the team's 100-92 road loss to the Indiana Pacers, logging 34 minutes a day after playing 31 minutes in a home win over the Miami Heat.

"I felt great," Embiid said after Saturday's game. "My legs weren't tired. My body was fine. I could feel it just a little bit.
