Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid finally made his season debut Tuesday night and it wasn’t pretty as he had just 13 points on 2-of-11 shooting in a 111-99 loss to the New York Knicks at the Wells Fargo Center.
Embiid, who played 26 minutes, sat out the first nine games of the season with a knee injury and a three-game suspension for shoving a columnist in the 76ers’ locker room.
Embiid said before the season that he probably wouldn’t play in any back-to-back games this year in order to keep him fresh for a postseason run.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t seem to love that plan and had a message for Embiid during TNT’s halftime show:
“Joel Embiid will never win a championship until he gets his mind and his attitude right,” Shaq said.
The 76ers are now 2-8 and in danger of quickly seeing this season becoming a lost year for a franchise that had high hopes just a few weeks ago.
