After missing 3 games, Joel Embiid made his return to the court with the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, January 15. And what a return it was! With 41 points and 10 rebounds, the Cameroonian center played a crucial role in Philadelphia’s victory against the Houston Rockets (124-115). This marked his 17th consecutive game with at least 30 points. Embiid was named the MVP of the evening. A stellar performance before the highly-anticipated clash on Wednesday, January 17 (00:30 GMT) against Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets.
