For the 76ers, though, all that really matters is that, a little more than halfway through this 2025/26 season, their star is beginning to regain the form that made him NBA MVP in 2023, as well as one of the most dominant scorers for much of the last decade, before knee injuries limited him to only 19 games over the course of the last season.

“It”s definitely a big step forward” explained 76ers coach Nick Nurse in the postgame about his all-star performance. He is starting to get the right feel, he is getting better and you can see he has a different competitive drive. Everything else is starting to flow. You can see it in practice, too. He is starting to get back to being that Joel Embiid that we all know and can dominate”, the thought, reported by ESPN, from Comrade George.

In the other games, Charlotte beat Orlando (124-97) while Denver swept Washington (107-97 the final). Golden State fell, beaten by Dallas: 123-115 the final. Good Chicago: 120-115 against Minnesota.

Good success for San Antonio, which gets the better of the challenge with Utah (126-109). Miami surrenders to Portland (127-110). Finally, the LA Lakers lose the derby against the LA Clippers: 112-104 the final. Not enough, in the yellowviola house, were Doncic’s 32 points and James’ 23.
