Philadelphia faces Indiana after Embiid's 44-point outing

Philadelphia visits the Indiana Pacers after Joel Embiid scored 44 points in the 76ers' 112-108 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers

APRIL 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hoists 20 free throws in win Embiid had 44 points (12-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 17-20 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Embiid drew 11 fouls Sunday -- too much for Cleveland to overcome. Lacking Evan Mobley (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (finger), Cleveland crowdsourced an effort to slow Embiid. In the fourth quarter Embiid rolled his ankle, but he successfully played through it and appeared healthy. He was dealing with lingering ankle soreness coming into Sunday's contest, so it is a situation to monitor.

Big double-double in loss Embiid racked up 37 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 102-94 loss to the Pistons.

Impact The big man continues to keep his name front of mind for MVP voters, scoring 30 or more points for the seventh time in his last 10 games while picking up his eighth double-double over that same stretch. Embiid has a chance to become the first 76er to lead the NBA in scoring since Allen Iverson in 2004-05, but he'll need to out-produce LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo over the final days of the season to do it.
