PHILADELPHIA -- Reigning league MVP Joel Embiid returned from his latest injury to score 41 points and grab 10 rebounds in leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 124-115 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday.
Embiid's 17 straight games with 30 points are a franchise record. He earned his seventh 40-point double-double this season, the most in the NBA. Embiid now has 42 games of at least 40 points and 10 rebounds, the seventh most in NBA history.
His absences, though, have piled up, placing his candidacy for another MVP trophy on the rocks.
