Embiid looks rusty in return as Sixers fall to Knicks in NBA Cup action

Picking up right where we left off, huh?

Not only did the Sixers kick off the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup, they also welcomed Joel Embiid back to the lineup Tuesday in a 111-99 loss to the New York Knicks.

Embiid, looking very much like someone trying to shake the rust off, finished with 13 points on 2-of-11 shooting. He went 8-of-8 from the free throw line and finished with three rebounds and five assists.

Paul George had his best game of the season so far, finishing with 29 and 10, shooting 10-of-19 from the floor and 7-of-11 from three.
