Joel Embiid

C, Philadelphia Sixers

Joel Embiid (left hand surgery) returned from a nine-game absence on Tuesday and put up 24 points (9-of-13 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes in a 115-104 win over the Warriors.

Embiid certainly doesn't look like he'll need much time to ramp up to full production. The Sixers will likely be careful with him as usual, but Embiid should be himself once again. Unfortunately, we know that includes above-average injury risk.
