Joel Embiid’s Recent Performance and Stats: A Closer Look

Joel Embiid, the star center for the Philadelphia 76ers, has recently returned to action after a period of absence due to injury. In his latest game against the New York Knicks on November 12, Embiid showed signs of rust, which was evident in his performance. He finished the game with 13 points on a disappointing 2-of-11 shooting, along with five assists, three rebounds, and one block in 26 minutes of play.

Embiid’s stats for the current 2024-2025 season reflect his limited playing time so far. He is averaging 13.0 points per game, with a field goal percentage of 18.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 20.0%. He has also averaged 3.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game, along with 1.0 block per game in his single appearance this season.

It is worth noting that Embiid is likely to operate under a minutes restriction as he works his way back to full fitness. This cautious approach is aimed at preventing further injury and ensuring he can contribute effectively to the team over the long term.

In the previous 2023-2024 season, Embiid had a more robust performance, averaging 34.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. His field goal percentage was 52.9%, and he shot 38.8% from three-point range. This season’s early numbers are a stark contrast, highlighting the impact of his recent injury and the need for him to regain his form.
