Harden and Millsap completed their medical examinations and officially joined Philadelphia. When he arrived in Philadelphia, Harden's expression could not hide his joy.
Indeed, the people he is about to join forces are strong.
Today, in Philadelphia's victory over the Cavaliers, Embiid shot a big triple-double with 40 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists on 11-of-22 shooting in 33 minutes, the second in history. The first is his new teammate Harden, who also plays the Cavaliers, who scored 43 points, 10 boards and 12 assists in just 30 minutes in 2019.
Counting this, Embiid has scored 25+ points in 23 consecutive games, and the last time he was able to do so was Harden, who scored 25+ in 40 consecutive games in 2018-19 (when he played for the Rockets).
In addition, Embiid has had at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in seven consecutive games, the longest in his career, and is also the second player in Philadelphia history to have at least 25 points and 10 boards in a single game since Charles Barkley (9 games) in 1990;
Embiid became the fifth player to score one point or more per minute since the league introduced the 24-second offensive rule in 1954 (26 consecutive games). The other four players who have achieved this statistic since 1954 are: Curry, Harden, Alphabet Brother and Chamberlain.
