Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers aim for back-to-back victories as they face the Toronto Raptors tonight, following a 116-108 win against the Dallas Mavericks. Embiid, who missed the 76ers’ 116-111 loss to the Denver Nuggets due to a calf issue, logged 33 minutes on his return against Dallas, contributing 25 points, nine rebounds and three assists while shooting 47.1%.
Embiid’s Importance for the 76ers
Embiid’s absence against the Nuggets seemed precautionary, and he is not on the 76ers’ latest injury report for their game against the Raptors at home. His availability is critical, as the Raptors are among the most in-form teams in the NBA.
The 76ers’ Performance
The Sixers managed to snap their three-game losing streak with a win against the Mavericks. Embiid’s performance was critical in securing the victory, as he played a significant role in both offense and defense for the team.
Upcoming Match Against the Raptors
The 76ers will face a tough challenge when they take on the Raptors, who have been performing well in recent games. To secure a win, Embiid and his teammates will need to bring their best game and maintain the momentum from their previous victory.
