The Sixers welcomed back the Eastern Conference Player of the month Joel Embiid back to the lineup as they wrapped up a five-game home stand against the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards were without their leading scorer Bradley Beal, as he is out at least a week with a wrist injury. Sixers guard Seth Curry was a late scratch with back spasms.
Joel Embiid had 27-14-6, but struggled from the outside and couldn’t come up with the bucket the Sixers needed, allowing Washington to steal a win.
Here are some observations from the Sixers 106-103 loss to Washington
