PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid clips popped up on social media for a handful of blocked shots he seemed to have against Toronto.
Just don't check the box score. The reigning NBA MVP had only one.
"I was like, one? I feel like he should have been credited with four," coach Nick Nurse said. "I feel like he got a piece of three others. Does that count if you get a piece? Or do you have to beat it into the third row to get somebody to mark it down?"
Embiid otherwise stuffed the stat sheet with 28 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists and the Philadelphia 76ers won in their first game since trading James Harden, beating the Toronto Raptors 114-99 on Thursday night.
