About 6 hours before the Philadelphia 76ers faced the leading team in the West, Oklahoma City Thunder, fans were still unclear about Joel Embiid's ability to play.

The reigning NBA MVP was absent from the shooting practice session on the same day as the match, raising questions about whether he would be able to return in time for this important match. The answer was then brought to the fans by Embiid himself.

Playing his first match after more than 2 months of recovery, Joel Embiid scored 24 points along with 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and... 6 turnovers in 29 minutes of play. 

But more importantly, the return of "The Process" helped the Sixers win a narrow 109-105 victory over OKC. It was Embiid who sealed the match result with 4 "clutch" free throws, followed by Stealing the ball right out of Josh Giddey's hands.
