Sixers star Joel Embiid has a message for himself after win over Bulls
CHICAGO -- On paper, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid had a solid outing in Sunday's win over the Chicago Bulls.
Key points
- Philadelphia is off to a 9-2 start, so it has found ways to earn wins, but Embiid finding his groove would go a long way for this team's contender status.
- A lot of his slow starts could be attributed to him still recovering from a myriad of injuries, but the Sixers need him to find his rhythm again.
- Figuring out how to just be myself again." On the flip side, Embiid did grab 10 rebounds with eight of them being on the offensive glass.
That is the Joel Embiid the Sixers will need to reappear as they move forward.
Of course, they have so many different scoring options now to take the pressure off him, but Embiid is looking to get back to himself.
Additional details
- He shot 7-for-19 against the Bulls and missed both of his 3-point attempts as he fell to 3-for-30 from deep on the season.
- Yeah, if I get offensive rebound, it's probably because I missed my own shot." Obviously, Embiid is much better than this.
- However, when Embiid is who he is and is one of the more dominant players in the league, something just feels off.
- "When everything is short and you're missing your own shot and everything is short and the ball bounces back to you, it doesn't really matter if you have a second jump," he said succinctly.
- Embiid being Embiid unlocks a lot of doors for Philadelphia.
