Embiid Reaches 1000 x 500 Mark at Rare, Rapid Pace | Philadelphia 76ers
It feels like just about every game, a new statistical nugget comes along that helps put into further context the impressive season Joel Embiid has been putting together. The latest of these numerical notes emerged Saturday, in the 76ers’ 106-100 win over the Dallas Mavericks.Thanks to this fortuitous bounce on a jump shot early in the second quarter, the big man became just the fourth player this season to eclipse the 1,000-point mark. He now keeps company with James Harden (1,142), Kevin Durant (1,110), and Damian Lillard (1,039).
