Joel Embiid finished with 34 points and 10 rebounds, and James Harden added 27 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds in his debut to lift the Philadelphia 76ers past the host Minnesota Timberwolves 133–102 on Friday.
It was Harden’s first game with the Sixers since being acquired with Paul Millsap from the Brooklyn Nets for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round draft picks. Harden was sidelined with a strained hamstring for his first four games with the Sixers.
