Joel Embiid came back to the Sixers lineup against Atlanta, logging 18 points in 30 minutes after right knee soreness kept him out for nine games, but his return was not enough as Philadelphia lost 142-134 in a draining double-overtime battle. Cleared after a pregame workout, Embiid joined Paul George and Tyrese Maxey in the starting five for the first time this season, continuing a career marked by elite production and repeated injuries soon after signing a three-year, $193 million extension that begins next season.

The 39-year-old entered late in the 76ers’ 129–105 win, making him the 12th player in league history to reach 20 seasons. He hit a 3-pointer, added an assist and steal, and drew cheers from teammates and coach Nick Nurse.

Maxey drives 76ers’ OT rally as Embiid’s minutes stay managed

Philadelphia 76ers
October 2025

Philadelphia moved to 4–0, erasing a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Washington 139–134 in OT. Tyrese Maxey posted 39 and 10, Embiid added 25 in 23 managed minutes, and rookie big Adem Bona delivered late rim protection and a decisive put-back. Nurse’s group leaned on pace, switching, and bench energy to close. Expect continued load management for Embiid while Maxey shoulders primary creation. Nurse will stagger shooters around Maxey, leverage Bona’s verticality and contests, and mix small pressure lineups with drop variants to protect foul rates. Early success is process-driven; sustainability depends on turnover control and half-court execution against elite defenses.

If George stays healthy and Maxey continues improving, Philadelphia could rise back into contention. Their depth and chemistry will be decisive in overcoming recent setbacks.
