On Monday night the Philadelphia 76ers' miserable season continued in the form of a 106-89 loss to the Miami Heat. The defeat drops Philly to 2-11 on the year, and among the many issues plauging the team, Joel Embiid's play is most concerning.
The MVP big man returned from a knee injury and a suspension to make his season debut last week and is very clearly still playing himself back into shape. Embiid has struggled every night he's been out on the court and has shown few flashes of the dominant two-way play that has garnered him significant acclaim and success over the years. This concerning trend continued on Monday evening and led to Embiid snapping a rather impressive personal streak that reflects the dire state of affairs.
