While Embiid had a quiet game, he played a significant role in the team reaching the Gold medal round.

As for the 76ers, they have a lot to be excited about heading into the 2024-25 season.

Maxey and Embiid are one of the best duos in the league, and over the offseason, the team signed nine-time NBA All-Star Paul George.
