The Philadelphia 76ers have the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference at 2-9, but they provided their fans with a bit of positivity on Thursday.

After signing a three-year, $192 million extension, 76ers’ Joel Embiid made his 2024-25 debut against the Knicks. He finished with 13 points, five assists, and three rebounds in the 111-99 loss. After the game, Embiid talked about his mediocre performance.

Joel Embiid is expected to make his season debut Tuesday night for the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid has not played this season because of what the Sixers called left knee management.
