Joel Embiid (illness) a non-factor in 76ers' Game 5 loss
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) scored 13 points (5-of-10 field goals, 1-of-2 free throws) with 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 3-pointers, and 8 turnovers in 31.2 minutes of a 125-89 Game 5 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
Embiid is clearly playing below 100 percent and lacking energy on both sides of the floor. The 76ers will need him to make some significant improvement if they're going to fend off elimination at home in Game 6 on Thursday.
Embiid finished with 19.7 FanDuel points in Game 5.
