Daily News | Sixers’ Doc Rivers says Joel Embiid “should be the MVP”
over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center.Embiid, Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić are the three main candidates for the award.For a while, Embiid was considered the frontrunner.
On Saturday, Embiid finished with game highs of 29 points and 14 rebounds to go with six assists in just 31 minutes, 21 seconds of action. With the Sixers up 23 points, the five-time All-Star center sat out the fourth quarter. “I almost wanted to tell him to try to get 50 or whatever to win the scoring title. He said, ‘Only if it comes to me. That’s the only way I want to win anything.’ So I thought that was a really cool answer. It also just shows where he’s at as a player.”Rivers was asked if Embiid and James Harden would play in Sunday’s road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s because Harden has yet to play on back-to-back game nights as a Sixers due to recovery from left hamstring tightness.
