At some point, you run out of things to say about Joel Embiid. I’m out here looking through Roget’s Thesaurus when I do these headlines, but I’ve already used “dominant” and “dazzling” this season. I’ve already used “commanding” and “brilliant.” There aren’t enough synonyms on the planet to describe what we’re seeing from Embiid this season.
Thursday night, we got 42 points on 66% shooting. We got 3-4 from three and 11-14 from the foul line. We got 14 rebounds, five assists, a steal, and six turnovers that the Sixers were able to live with in a 123-120 win against Milwaukee, playing against Giannis and company with Georges Niang moved into the starting five and James Harden cheering along from the sidelines.
