This comes despite a host of boos from the City of Brotherly Love during the play-in tournament Wednesday until bench player Nicholas Batum caught fire to fuel a rally to down the Heat.The stats back this up. In a small sample size since his return from a January injury, Embiid is averaging 5.4 3-point attempts per game, up dramatically from the 3.6 attempts in January and 2.9 in December.
Embiid played in just one of the four regular-season matchups between the teams, a 128-92 bludgeoning by the Knicks.Embiid had 30 points and 10 rebounds in that game but turned it over six times and shot just 10-of-23 from the field. He shot 12 free throws in that game.Randle will not be active for this series but in comes Mitchell Robinson, who did not play in that January contest and is another body to throw at Embiid.
