As Joel Embiid continues to justify his career-high averages in points, rebounds and assists, his teammates are not falling far behind. Jimmy Butler contributed 20 points in the win over the Wizards while sophomore Ben Simmons chipped in with 17 points and nine assists.

"We're good right now," Simmons said. "We're on the right track to where we want to be."

All of them made eight shots from the field, with Butler shooting the best with 8-of-9 on the night. While all eyes were on Lamet's three-pointers, JoJo kept doing his thing, finishing with a solid double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. He made a couple of threes as well and a blocked shot in the 24 minutes he was on court.

With the Sixers up big in the second half, Joel decided to watch the game as a spectator from the 2nd row as Shamet took charge of the game in sharpshooter JJ Redick's absence.
