Embiid was held to four points (1-9 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.

Embiid looked very rusty, as he opened the game with four straight misses and bricked all four of his three-point attempts. Some rust is to be expected given that he wasn't able to suit up until the final game of the preseason, and he's expected to be eased back into things with some minutes restrictions.
