There is truly never a dull moment with the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid. After a long, stressful, and overall strange first half of the regular season, the Sixers find themselves in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings — not exactly where we all pictured they would be at the beginning of the year.
