Joel Embiid ties career high with 50 points in 27 minutes vs. Magic

Mo Bamba came out on fire against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid had an answer. The Philadelphia center tied a career high with 50 points to go with 12 rebounds as the 76ers rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit for a 123-110 win against Orlando. In doing so, Embiid joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in 76ers history to record multiple 50-point, 10-rebound games.

He did so in a hyper-efficient effort while connecting on 17 of 23 field goals and 15 of 17 free throws.
