Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid expressed frustration over his recent performance following a 124-104 loss to the Boston Celtics. Embiid, who scored 15 points on 3-for-9 shooting in the game, acknowledged that his current play doesn’t match his performance from a year ago. He attributed this decline to ongoing health issues, stating that he needs to address these problems to regain his previous dominance. Despite these challenges, Embiid believes his presence on the court remains beneficial, particularly in drawing double teams and creating opportunities for teammates. This season, he has averaged 24.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists over 18 games, missing several due to injuries. The 76ers, now holding a 20-35 record, face a difficult decision: continue striving for a playoff spot or consider focusing on future prospects, especially with a top-six protected first-round pick at stake.
