Loses battle to Embiid Vucevic finished Sunday's 119-108 loss to the 76ers with 23 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes. Impact Vucevic scored 20-plus points for the fourth time over his last five games, but it wasn't enough, as Joel Embiid dominated him on the other end with a 40-point double-double. Over his last five contests, the veteran big man has averaged 26.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 35.8 minutes per game. He'll look to shake off the matchup with Embiid and continue his strong play against the Suns on Monday. If Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (groin) are sidelined again, Vucevic is a likely candidate to score 20-plus points once again.
