Daily News | Joel Embiid ‘glad we’re past’ Ben Simmons’ return to Philly
Sixers Joel Embiid gets fouled by Nets Bruce Brown during the 1st quarter at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Thursday, March 10, 2022.Count Joel Embiid as somebody who is glad Thursday’s 76ers-Nets game — which doubled as Ben Simmons’ much-anticipated return to Philly — is over.
The 129-100 drubbing the Sixers received was still a lingering topic before they traveled to Orlando for Sunday’s game against the Magic. Coach Doc Rivers said his team had moved on with a normal film session and on-court work, but added “that game should teach us a lot about [that] you’ve got to be mentally aware and understanding of the situation.
The Sixers entered Saturday in third place in the Eastern Conference standings, one game back of the second-place Milwaukee Bucks and a half-game ahead of the fourth-place Chicago Bulls and the fifth-place Boston Celtics. Brooklyn entered Saturday in the eighth spot, but could be poised for a run now that Kevin Durant has returned from a knee injury, the unvaccinated Kyrie Irving is able to play in most road games, and Simmons, presumably, will begin playing once his back issue subsides.
“Obviously they’re double- and triple-teaming me,” Embiid said. “And once we start making shots, are you gonna keep doing that? Or are you going to give up a bunch of wide-open threes?
