Joel Embiid went 0-for-9 from the field in Friday’s 119-95 loss to Cleveland, saying Philadelphia must find ways to create easier scoring opportunities.
Joel Embiid admitted the Philadelphia 76ers offense has a long way to go after shooting 0-for-9 in a 119-95 loss to Cleveland. Philadelphia converted just 36.5% of its field goals and 10 of 40 three-point attempts on Friday as the team fell to 8-2. Embiid noted that offensive sets frequently ended in difficult jump shots while players became stationary.
The 76ers center pledged to review his shooting mechanics, noting changes in his jumping and hand placement caused by workload management reducing gym reps. Embiid emphasized that the team must focus on generating easier scoring chances and layups ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
