Embiid, just 17 days after an emergency appendectomy, played 34 minutes and posted 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists on Sunday night, but the Sixers were thrashed by the Boston Celtics. Their season is on the brink, facing a 3-1 series deficit entering Tuesday's game against a Boston team which has once again posted an empty injury report.
