Embiid Goes 47 Minutes, Leads Sixers Past Rockets in OT with a Subtle Jab at Korkmaz
Joel Embiid logged 47 minutes in a 128-122 OT win over Houston, acknowledging the heavy workload but saying it helped seal the comeback. The star center is rounding back into form in January with higher scoring efficiency and multiple 30+-point games, including a 32-point triple-double, while managing back-to-backs. A postgame Instagram jab at former teammate Furkan Korkmaz added a playful edge to a night that underscored Embiid’s ongoing return to peak form.
