The Sixers’ best hope is to continue to hope whatever they were hoping when they signed Embiid to that offseason extension. The Sixers did not have the option of tanking this season.

The unexpected trade between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers, which included Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis, continues to dominate NBA conversation. Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid recently made a humorous remark about it.

Joel Embiid stamped his first game in a month with a triple-double, posting 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Sixers to a 118-116 victory over the Mavericks.
