Joel Embiid made a notable return to the 76ers’ starting lineup, contributing 26 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists in their Game 4 loss to the Celtics. Just over two weeks post-appendectomy, Embiid’s resilience was evident, though it wasn’t enough to secure a victory against Boston’s potent offense. As Philadelphia faces elimination, Embiid’s performance, clocking 34 minutes on the floor, suggests he’ll continue to be pivotal in the crucial Game 5.
