Back Home, 76ers Top Timberwolves | Philadelphia 76ers

Back home for the first time in two weeks, the 76ers (34-15) topped the Minnesota Timberwolves (12-38), 122-113, as Joel Embiid returned to the lineup for the first time since Mar. 12 (left knee bone bruise). The Sixers led by as many as 19, and held off the Wolves’ late push, largely thanks to Tobias Harris’ 12 fourth-quarter points (32 points overall). During a decisive stretch with under three minutes to go, the veteran scored eight straight to help the Sixers keep Minnesota at bay. It was a well-rounded effort from the Sixers, with five finishers in double-figures. The Sixers shot 50.6% overall and 42.9% from deep, holding the Timberwolves to 44.9% overall and 33.3% from long range.

Road Trip Closes in Cleveland | Philadelphia 76ers

The Sixers are 3-2 on the trip thus far, looking to snap their two-game skid Thursday. Doc Rivers says that a win at Cleveland would make the road trip - without Joel Embiid (left knee bone bruise) - a success. “We have a chance to go plus-.500 on a road trip without Joel,” Rivers said following the team’s 104-95 loss at Denver Tuesday. “We have one more game. We win that, and we’ve had a very successful trip.” With a back-to-back hosting Minnesota and Memphis awaiting the Sixers at home, the team also released encouraging news on Embiid’s progress Wednesday.

Simmons, Harris Huge Nights not Quite Enough in Utah

Facing the Utah Jazz (23-5), currently the best team in the NBA, was never going to be an easy task for the 76ers (18-10) - and it became a tougher one in the absence of Joel Embiid (back tightness). But the Sixers were in the fight start to finish - leading by as many as 14, but ultimately falling, 134-123. Ben Simmons scored a career-high 42 points and Tobias Harris hit a season-high 36, but the team’s struggles from deep (8-23 3PT) proved costly. Utah excelled from long range, hitting 18 of its 45 3-point attempts. Jordan Clarkson led the way for the Jazz, finishing with 40 points on 13-for-20 shooting.
