Joel Embiid returns with 29 points, 9 rebounds in 76ers' win

Joel Embiid returned from a one-game absence due to knee soreness, posting 29 points (11-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds (6 offensive), five assists, and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 win over Milwaukee. He started after missing Monday's loss to the Hornets, scoring 18 points in the first quarter. Embiid's MVP-level midrange touch and screen-setting were highlighted, along with a fastbreak lob finish. He has now reached the 20-point threshold in 17 consecutive contests and grabbed at least nine boards in four straight games.
