In the NBA regular season, the 76ers defeated the Hornets 125-121.
After the game, 76ers center Joel Embiid talked about the playing time limit in an interview: "The longer I sit, the more fragmented the playing time becomes. There is no point in having to come off the court after playing two or three minutes. It is better to just stay at home with your family. Only by playing continuously can you really get into the rhythm of the game, but on the other hand, playing continuously for a long time also means that you may be in the game. I was exhausted at halftime. I will trust the medical team until I fully recover, but I will continue to fight and I will make my demands clear every day."
In this game, Embiid still had time limit. He played 20 minutes and 7 seconds, making 7 of 11 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, 20 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. He also made 4 turnovers.
