Joel Embiid and James Harden are set to be the first teammates to lead the NBA in both scoring and assists in over 40 years.
Luka Doncic is at 32.4 points per game and done for the season. So is Embiid; he’s one of six Sixers ruled out for the team’s Sunday afternoon matchup against the Nets. Anything can technically happen in a game — someone scoring 800 points, for instance — but Embiid has essentially clinched the scoring title.
Embiid will be the first Sixer to do that in consecutive seasons since Allen Iverson in 2000-01 and ’01-02. He’ll be the first center with consecutive scoring titlesHarden is also unsurprisingly among the many stars sitting out Game No. 82 for teams that know exactly what’s next and want to avoid any unnecessary risks. The Sixers expect to have him and Embiid available for their first-round playoff series against Brooklyn.
