The Philadelphia 76ers are hitting the headlines with a major win, having beaten the Boston Celtics and eliminated them from the NBA Playoffs. The Philadelphia 76ers claimed a victory in 109-100 game 7, courtesy of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, who led the 76ers to mark the win by defeating the Celtics in the playoff series for the first time since 1982.
The 76ers were 0-18 all-time, but they rallied back in the 3-1 series, and Joel made big contributions, scoring 34 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and finally adding 6 assists, which led the 76ers to a marvellous win. Amid this, let’s look back at the time when he made a hilarious comment about celebrating a big win after the 76ers’ thrilling 128-122 overtime victory against the Houston Rockets back in January 2026.
Why did the 76ers’ star, Joel Embiid, want to have a child on January 22?
Back in January 2026, the Philadelphia 76ers had a massive win, and former MVP Joel Embiid gave a strong performance, scoring 32 points. The day was January 22, and this is seemingly a good day for Joel, since before the 76ers’ massive win in 2026, two years back on the same date, Joel had given another strongest performances by scoring 70 points against Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs. It was surely one of the NBA’s most striking scoring nights.
