Embiid’s return overshadows Christie’s sharp Mavericks debut

PHILADELPHIA – If Max Christie can have this kind of impact on the Mavericks, we can only wait with great anticipation about what Anthony Davis might deliver.

It didn’t take long for the new Maverick swingman to prove his worth as he provided a major boost off the bench in the first half Tuesday in a game that ultimately went south for the Mavericks in the third quarter.

On a night when Joel Embiid returned after a month on the shelf for Philadelphia, the Mavericks struggled in the second half, rallied furiously, but in the end took a 118-116 loss to the 76ers Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center.
