The Philadelphia 76ers are building a title contender around their star trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George. While the Sixers are working on integrating George into the mix of things, they can focus on the two-man game of Embiid and Maxey.

The 7-foot-2 center, who battled injuries throughout his career, noted that it’s hard to not feel bad about yourself in those moments, but he's learned that talking to others about it has helped.

BOSTON — Joel Embiid popped up from a pre-game fall and scored 27 points with nine rebounds, making 4 of 5 from 3-point range and sinking a pair of free throws with three seconds left to turn back Boston’s final rally and lead the 76ers to a 118-114 victory at TD Garden on Wednesday.
