Embiid Posts 21-11 Double-Double in 76ers' 114-109 Win

Joel Embiid has opened the season with strong all-around production, including 21 points and 11 rebounds in Philadelphia’s win over Indiana and 10 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in a victory over New York. His heavy workload has raised concerns: he played 39 minutes against the Pacers and is averaging more than 35 minutes per game. Embiid said he feels good but acknowledged that managing his minutes will be important, while coach Nick Nurse recognized the workload has been high even as the team prioritizes important wins. Embiid is returning from a season limited by knee and other health issues, so his playing time may warrant close attention.
