The biggest stars in the NBA convened in Cleveland on Sunday night to put on a big performance for the All-Star game. It was a huge night honoring the top 75 players in the history of the game and the game itself had some big performances.
Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid had himself a huge night representing the Sixers for Team Durant. Embiid had 36 points on 14-for-20 shooting with 10 rebounds as Team Durant fell to Team LeBron 163-160. LeBron James ended it with a game-winning jumper for the Elam Ending back in Cleveland where he led the Cavaliers to a title in 2016.
This was a nice performance for Embiid after he was not able to participate in the 2021 All-Star game due to being in the health and safety protocols. Despite his huge performance, however, Stephen Curry had a historic night for Team LeBron as he had an All-Star game record 16 3-pointers to score 50 points.

Now that the All-Star weekend is over, Embiid’s focus is now getting back to Philadelphia and helping the Sixers get James Harden integrated with the roster and make a serious run at winning the title in 2022.
