Joel Embiid: Leads all scorers with 31 points
Embiid totaled 31 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 41 minutes during Sunday's 103-96 loss to the Hawks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series.
The Scoop: Embiid did everything he could in the loss but was unable to get his team over the hump, once again. Another positive season comes to an end for the 76ers and based on what we have seen over the past couple of years, it could be time to make some changes in Philadelphia. Embiid's future seems guaranteed at this point, so it is likely to be the role players -- or perhaps Ben Simmons -- who could be flushed out. Injuries also continue to be an issue for the big man, who battled a partially torn meniscus for the duration of the second round. While his production is unassailable, longevity is a question that may hang around for the remainder of Embiid's career.
