When Joel Embiid was drafted, the Sixers considered him as more of a complimentary piece. Since 2018, Joel Embiid and the Sixers have made the playoffs every year. During Joel Embiid’s playoff runs, he has been the Sixers’ leading scorer.
Joel Embiid came into this season frustrated. With the Sixers in turmoil, Joel Embiid took his frustrations out on the league. Joel Embiid became the NBA’s leading scorer. For a while, Joel Embiid looked like he was going to lead the Sixers to the East’s second best record. It turns out, nobody has an answer for Jayson Tatum and the Celtics.
Joel Embiid, like Jayson Tatum, was expecting to sweep his opponents. The Toronto Raptors managed to avoid the play-in and directly make the playoffs. Not only did the Raptors earn a playoff spot, they are the fifth seed. However, the Raptors are playing like a true fifth seed, and not like the Hawks and Heat of 2021 and 2020. Still, the Raptors won Game 4, getting Joel Embiid in foul trouble.
Joel Embiid got mad, at the end of the game, as the Sixers had a chance to win. As the players were leaving, Joel Embiid sarcastically clapped for the refs.
