Embiid is back.

The Philadelphia 76ers won 108-98 against the Charlotte Hornets during the 2024-2025 NBA regular season at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on the 21st (Korea Standard Time)

Joel Embiid, who returned from injury, scored 34 points and nine assists, showing great performance. Tyreece Maxey also scored 23 points to help him win.

Embiid suffered a facial injury against Indiana on the 14th and has missed one game since then. He made his return match against Charlotte by wearing a face mask.

Embiid's facial injury is not the first. In 2018 and 2022, he suffered a facial injury with an orbital fracture and concussion, and even then, he played wearing a mask.

Being injured in the same area is fatal to a player. Regardless of the degree of injury, trauma to the injured area can affect the play itself.

Nevertheless, Embiid showed stable play. Located in the tower, he helped his teammates attack through active screens and handoffs.

He also displayed seasoned play. By utilizing his unique steps and shot touch, he attempted to attack leisurely. In the early part of the third quarter, he lightly peeled off the opponent's defense by using only the step before making a middle shot.

Even considering that the opponent was Charlotte, the weak team, it was a great game for Philadelphia. Regardless of Embiid's performance, it was encouraging that the entire team was revived. 토토사이트
