Joel Embiid is averaging 30.2 points on 52% shooting and 42% on 3-pointers this season.

He is on pace to join 2015-16 Stephen Curry as the only players to average 30 points on 50% shooting and 40% on 3-pointers in a season.

Curry won the MVP unanimously that season. pic.twitter.com/UgXVdrvDiJ

Joel Embiid leads the NBA in win percentage (.789, 30-8 W-L), while averaging 30 PPG.

That would be the 3rd-most PPG in a season by the leader in win percentage in league history. All other players on the list won MVP pic.twitter.com/JXwGlgYXkO

On this date in 2001, Allen Iverson scored 52 points in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Iverson joined Jordan as the only players ever to score 50 or more points in two games of the same playoff series. Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell have since joined that list pic.twitter.com/KQPmHfl815

Joel Embiid scored 36 points in just 28 minutes tonight.

That's the 2nd-fewest minutes in a 35-point playoff game in the shot-clock era (since 1954-55).

Only Paul George (25 minutes) played less in a 35-point playoff game.
