Daily News | After returning from illness, Joel Embiid aims to recapture MVP-caliber form for Sixers
Joel Embiid got the ball from Tyrese Maxey at the top of the key, dribbled once to his left and pulled up over Deandre Ayton.
Each day, Embiid plans to “keep pushing … to try to do a little more” to up his conditioning. Yet he said there is no substitution for playing game minutes. Even before his illness, Embiid’s early play did not match his lofty standards . The eye test showed choppy play — and occasional visibly fatigued body language — as he and the Sixers re-established roles with core members Harden, Maxey and Tobias Harris and a host of new role players.
“He was in my ear to keep going down there,” Harris said, “and going to work and go to the free throw line and create some easy baskets. A lot of plays, he was calling my number and making sure the ball got there.”
