Joel Embiid continues to cement his legacy as one of the greatest Sixers of all time.
On Wednesday night, he reached the 10,000-point mark faster than any Sixer had done before him. Embiid accomplished the feat in 373 games, edging out the incomparable Allen Iverson as the franchise record-holder.
After missing the first two years of his NBA career because of a navicular bone fracture and numerous games over years of load management, Embiid lamented that he probably could’ve done it sooner.
“I mean, I can only think that what if I didn’t miss all these games,” Embiid said postgame.
