Joel Embiid’s performance on Tuesday night against the Celtics only strengthened the dominant big man’s grip on the 2023 NBA MVP award.
Embiid led the way scoring a game-high 52 points in the 76ers‘ 103–101 victory. The seventh-year center finished with a double-double, grabbing 13 rebounds and dishing out six assists.
The explosive outing was good enough for Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers to declare there is doubt who the best player in the league is this season.

The 27-year old talent, who helped Miami earn their first win of the season, snapped the club’s four-game losing streak in the process.
