Joel Embiid had a rather easy night at the office Sunday, leading the Sixers to a 112-93 win at Wells Fargo Center over the Wizards. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The 45-22 Sixers will begin a three-game road trip Wednesday against the Cavaliers. Here are observations on their dominant win over Washington:The Wizards registered a lowlight immediately when Kyle Kuzma attempted a long jumper on their first possession and missed it about three feet wide to the right.
Embiid missed four of his first five field-goal attempts, then hit four in a row. As soon as Taj Gibson checked into the game, Embiid went to work at the elbow, making a couple of effective jab steps and sinking a jumper. Gibson did not play the second half because of a non-COVID illness, which took away one of the Wizards’ options on Embiid.
Jalen McDaniels scored six points off the bench early in the second quarter. However, he exited prematurely. McDaniels appeared to grab at his side and grimaced after being fouled by Deni Avdija on a drive with 9:05 left in the second. He made both of his subsequent free throws, but the Sixers then took a foul so McDaniels could go back to the locker room with head athletic trainer Kevin Johnson.
