Joel Embiid scored 26 points to extend his scoring streak to ten games. He also lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a victory over the Atlantic Division leading Toronto Raptors 94-89. By doing so, he has placed his streak of consecutive 20-point games just shy of the franchise record. In fact, his 20-point streak by a rookie is now the second most in franchise history. He is now just one shy of Allen Iverson’s 11-game streak to end his rookie year.
There can be no greater exclamation point on the career of Joel Embiid than to be in any conversations alongside NBA HOFer and beloved-by-Philly Allen Iverson.
