However, Embiid later apologized for his words on live TV.

Joel Embiid had fun scoring his career-high points

Close to half of Embiid’s career-high score on Monday came in the final quarter. Incredibly, his tally in the fourth quarter was more than that of the Hawks’ whole team.

“I said I was going to get back to having fun,” Embiid said after his performance as per ESPN. “Having fun comes in different forms. I don’t always have to be smiling or laughing all the time; I can have fun just dominating the game.

“Obviously, tonight was just one of those nights where I was having fun like the old days, just having fun with the crowd. Some nights, I might want to dominate and stay quiet, but it was cool. The most important thing was that we bounced back [from the Milwaukee loss] and got the win.”

Apart from his 49 points, Embiid also had 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and a block. His performance led the Sixers to a 129-112 victory in a game that looked tight at the end of three quarters.

“We’re all going to point to the numbers, and this and that, but the bottom line is this: When he comes out with that activity, that energy, that mentality, he makes a statistician work. And we will win a lot of games.” Sixers coach Brett Brown said after the game.
