Aligned in the 5 major by his coach on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Joel Embiid marked his return by scoring 24 points during the victory of his Philadelphia team against Oklahoma (109-105). The pivot had not been on the court since January 30 and his knee injury.
His return cost his franchise dearly. And for good reason, the national basketball league (NBA) fined Philadelphia 92,000 euros. The reason: the player was entered on the match sheet too late (one hour before kick-off, Editor’s note).
