MVP of the previous NBA season, Joel Embiid, has returned to the court after a minor injury. The Cameroonian center for the Philadelphia 76ers played 31 minutes and 27 seconds in the victorious match against Chicago (110:97).
Immediately upon his return, Embiid managed to record a triple-double: 31 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Thus, the 29-year-old basketball player achieves a 30+10 in 14 consecutive NBA games. The record for this achievement belongs to the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who accomplished it in 16 games.
In the current season, Embiid has two triple-doubles, and throughout his NBA career, he has accumulated a total of 7.
With 23 wins in 33 games, Philadelphia holds the third position in the Eastern Conference.
