Joel Embiid is back to dominating.
After a slow start to the season, coming off a summer in which he dealt with injury and needed to rediscover his typical conditioning, Embiid has taken off over the last several games. Over his last four contests since returning from illness, Embiid has averaged 40 points with a 66.1 true shooting percentage to go along with some stellar defense. His career-high 59-point, near quadruple-double to defeat the Jazz was truly one of the better performances in NBA history, showcasing unstoppable scoring power and skill, improved playmaking, and complete lockdown interior defense with his seven blocks.
