Nonetheless, he achieved a personal best with an average of 34.7 points per game, along with 11.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks. Despite his injury history, the 10-year veteran is at the peak of his career and remains one of the most formidable centers of his era.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>At 30 years old and coming off a significant contract extension, Embiid is gearing up for a promising season. He will be joined by star guard Tyrese Maxey and the newly acquired Paul George, setting high expectations for the 76ers as a strong contender in the Eastern
