Joel Embiid Stands by Jimmy Butler's Talent Despite Loss

Even after some time apart, NBA star Joel Embiid still has nothing but praise for his former teammate, Jimmy Butler. After a challenging loss to the Miami Heat, Embiid acknowledged Butler's skill, calling him one of the best in the league. Butler, who had been sidelined due to an ankle injury, returned with a bang, scoring 30 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists. Embiid, on the other hand, was dealing with an illness and managed to score 11 points. However, the team's performance took a significant dip after they had an early lead.The Philadelphia 76ers have had a rocky season so far, with a record of 2-11. Despite this, they are still in the running for a playoff spot. The team is optimistic that once all their key players, including Tyrese Maxey, are healthy, they can turn their season around. It's important to note that injuries and illnesses have played a big part in the team's struggles this season. Butler's return and the anticipated return of other key players could be what the team needs to bounce back.
