Embiid's Return Sparks Maxey, Sixers Cruise Past Pacers on the Road

Joel Embiid returned from his longest absence since November as the Sixers rolled to a 135-114 road win over the Indiana Pacers, with Tyrese Maxey delivering another superstar performance and flirting with a triple-double. Embiid eased into the game and finished with 27 on efficient scoring in 26 minutes, while Maxey anchored the offense with multi-level scoring and key plays as Philadelphia closed the second quarter on a burst and surged in the second half. The win, part of a 2-1 road trip, featured solid bench input from Adem Bona and VJ Edgecombe and a rotation tweak that saw Trendon Watford return. Andre Drummond was out of the rotation, and Philadelphia will head home to face the Miami Heat next.
