Joel Embiid stabilizing 76ers after James Harden saga as Knicks rumors fade
NY Post
The chatter has died down.
The talk of Joel Embiid forcing his way out of Philadelphia has grinded to a halt.
Once thought of as a major Knicks target, the reigning MVP is having a huge year for the 76ers, who moved on from James Harden and are the better for it under new coach Nick Nurse.
Entering the first meeting between the rivals Friday night at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the 76ers own the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at 23-10 and trail the powerhouse Bucks by just a half-game in the standings.
Embiid could repeat as the MVP, averaging 34.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.0 blocks.
