76ers star Embiid returns for must-win game

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid has been deemed available for Game 4 of the playoff series. This critical juncture sees the 76ers aiming to even the series at two games apiece before returning to Boston. Embiid's return followed a period where his status was uncertain, with coach Nick Nurse indicating he was undergoing individual work.

Embiid averaged 26.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game in 38 regular-season contests this past season. The 76ers secured a victory in Game 2 at Boston's TD Garden, winning 111-97 without their star center, thanks to strong performances from Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. However, they were unable to secure Game 3 at home, losing 108-100.
