Joel Embiid and New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis are the only players in the NBA playoffs averaging at least 20 points and 12 rebounds.
The 76ers center is averaging 20.6 points and 12.9 rebounds through seven postseason games. He had 15 points and 13 rebounds in a 103-92 Game 4 victory over the Boston Celtics on Monday in an Eastern Conference semifinal. This marked the all-star’s sixth straight postseason double-double. It’s the most by a Sixer since Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo recorded 11 straight from May 20 to June 10, 2001. Coincidentally, Mutombo sat courtside at Monday night’s game.
