He established the tone right away by scoring 14 points in the first quarter against the same Hawks club that had defeated the Sixers just two days before. Over the course of the next 36 minutes, Embiid would build on that promising beginning, scoring a game-high 42 points while adding ten rebounds, six assists, and two blocks. And maybe most significantly, the Sixers won 121-109 to raise their record to 6-7.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JOEL EMBIID TONIGHT: <\/p>\n<p>59 POINTS <br \/>11 REBOUNDS <br \/>8 ASSISTS<br \/>7 BLOCKS<\/p>\n<p>He had 42-10-6 LAST NIGHT \ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fSHjboYqjC\">pic.twitter.com\/fSHjboYqjC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDunkCentral\/status\/1591990052246413314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>When asked by the media why he appeared to be pulling at his shoulder the whole game after that outstanding performance, <strong>Joel Embiid<\/strong> gave a worrying health update.

Yes, you did read that right. Embiid made 7 of 8 field goal attempts and 12 of 15 free throw attempts over the final 12 minutes, which was just enough to help Philadelphia win 105-98. With the game set on Rookie difficulty, his final stats against Utah resembled those of a 2K stat line: 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 7 blocks in 37 minutes. In the process, Embiid made NBA history by being the first player to ever have 50 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 blocks in a single game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JOEL EMBIID CAREER NIGHT \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>59 PTS (Career-high)<br \/>11 REB<br \/>8 AST<br \/>7 BLK<br \/>19\/28 FG<br \/>20\/24 FT <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3l7ccXEP6D\">pic.twitter.com\/3l7ccXEP6D<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Overtime (@overtime) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/overtime\/status\/1591990052892164098?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Sixers&#8217; 2-0 weekend has at least temporarily calmed the waters, regardless of whether the back-to-back performances serve as a catalyst for more success.
