Joel Embiid played an important part in the 76ers delivering phenomenal performances. Although the blockbuster move to bring James Harden to the 76ers looked great, it didn’t work out that well. The Miami Heat got the better of the 76ers during the second round of the playoffs and a brilliant season by the 76ers came to a crashing end.
However, Embiid can look back upon this season with pride. He averaged 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists during the 2021-22 season.
