NBA superstar Joel Embiid was on a roll for the Philadelphia 76ers recently. The center shocked fans in the game against the Utah Jazz. However, Embiid was not the one who managed to garner the fans’ attention. Fellow 76ers star James Harden attended the game to support his teammates. But his choice of outfit quickly became the highlight of the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers grabbed their seventh victory of the season against the Utah Jazz on November 13, 2022. The 76ers beat the Jazz by 105-98, bringing their record to 7-7. Joel Embiid’s performance was rather spectacular for fans to witness on the court. The five-time NBA All-Star scored an all-time high score of 59 points in the game. Additionally, Embiid averaged 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Fellow teammate, Tyrese Maxey added 18 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. This was their second consecutive win after the 76ers beat the Atlanta Hawks on November 12. The team secured a win against the Hawks as Embiid scored 42 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. The two games alone brought Embiid’s overall score to 101 points in the past 24 hours.
Embiid undoubtedly has established his dominance on the court with his all-time high points tally. However, it was James Harden who became the topic of discussion among fans. More specifically, it was his outfit.
Not Joel Embiid but James Harden is the talk of the town
It’s been quite some time since James Harden has been out of the team due to a foot injury. The Philadelphia 76ers guard sustained a right foot tendon sprain during the 76ers games against the Washington Wizards on November 2, 2022. Despite having suffered from the injury, Harden finished the game with 24 points. Following that, it was reported that Harden would have to remain on the sidelines for at least a month. But that did not deter him from being present to support his teammates from the sidelines.
