Joel Embiid Scores Season-High 35 Points But Sends Warning To Sixers Teammates After Loss - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Joel Embiid enjoyed his best game of the season so far on Wednesday, scoring 35 points in the Sixers loss to Memphis. After the defeat, Embiid said his side ‘needs to be better’. 

Sixers Need To Improve

The Sixers continued their miserable start to the season on Wednesday, as a loss to the Grizzlies made it five consecutive losses for Philadelphia.

While the Sixers were again dreadful, Joel Embiid finally enjoyed some joy on the court after what has been a tough start to the year for the former MVP.

Embiid dropped 35 on the Grizzlies in the defeat, scoring 14 free throws and shooting 48% from the field with 11 rebounds, but he wasn’t pleased at all following his team’s latest defeat.

“It’s kind of annoying having to deal with the same things over and over and over,” Embiid said. “It’s been like that my whole career. All I try to do is focus on basketball and trying to make the best living for my family, on and off the court.

“But it’s unbelievable. It just feels like negativity keeps following us, which I don’t understand why. But it’s a shame, and it doesn’t change the fact that we’ve still all got to be better.”

It was reported in the week that the Sixers had a team meeting due to the recent form, with Embiid actually called out by Tyrese Maxey for his poor time keeping off the court.
