Joel Embiid puts up 14 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds in 18 minutes in preseason debut for 76ers
It was just 18 minutes of a preseason game, but it was a good sign for 76ers fans. In those 18 minutes against Minnesota, Joel Embiid made his preseason debut — he has not played since surgery on his left knee last April — Embiid put up 14 points, with seven boards and eight dimes.
The 76ers are aiming to rebound from an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign in which they finished with their worst record since 2015-16. With rookie V.J. Edgecombe in the mix, alongside Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Jared McCain, Philadelphia is trending upward.
