PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid bent over at the 76ers’ free-throw line as “M-V-P!” chants rained down from the Wells Fargo Center stands.
The All-NBA big man has been serenaded with those three letters almost every home game in recent seasons. But they carried additional gravitas — and credibility — Sunday night.
Embiid amassed a stat line reserved solely for the NBA all-timers, racking up a career-high 59 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks to propel the Sixers to a 105-98 victory.
