76ers' Joel Embiid: Solid numbers in losing effort
Joel Embiid contributed 22 points (8-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Hawks.After pouring in a season-high 39 points in Friday's win over the Hawks, Embiid took a back seat as a scorer Sunday but excelled at attack the glass en route to notching his first double-double of the season. He's logged at least 30 minutes in three straight games, an encouraging trend as he works his way back from the arthroscopic left knee surgery he underwent back in April. The Philadelphia 76ers will return to action Friday in New York in the first game of a back-to-back set, so expect Embiid to sit out that game or Saturday's home date versus the Mavericks for maintenance purposes.

Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.Embiid will look to build off Friday's 39-point performance, and he should be busy on offense due to Tyrese Maxey (illness) being out again. With Embiid active, Andre Drummond will be a less attractive target in fantasy leagues, as he'll be confined to a reserve role. Sunday will mark the first time this season that Embiid will have appeared in two games in three nights.
