The 76ers beat the Wizards, 139-134, in overtime on Tuesday night. Tyrese Maxey had 39 points and 10 rebounds while rookie V.J. Edgecomb had a relatively quiet 14 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Even more importantly for Philadelphia, they got 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists out of Joel Embiid in just 23 minutes. Embiid struggled in the season-opener and sat out the 76ers game on Monday night so any serious signs of life from the injury-prone center is always nice to see.
