Embiid goes from 0 to 33 in 48 hours

Joel Embiid got back to playing the kind of game he expects from himself and nothing like the worst game of his career two nights prior.

Embiid had 33 points and 16 rebounds to lead the host Philadelphia 76ers to a 97-91 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

“I should play like that every night,” Embiid said. “After the last performance, I had to be a little more aggressive.”

He was scoreless Monday in a 101-96 loss at Toronto. In 32 minutes against the Raptors, the star big man went 0 for 11 from the field and missed all three of his free throws.
