The Philadelphia 76ers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder by the score of 103-97. Joel Embiid was solid in his NBA debut, scoring 20 points, hauled in seven rebounds and blocked two shots in 22 minutes of action. The only negative was he shot 6-for-16 from the floor.

Fantasy Impact:

Embiid saw a little more time than originally anticipated. There are sure to be some rough patches along the way for the rookie, but Embiid certainly has the potential to be an upper tier big man. For now, expect 20 to 25 minutes per game and good fantasy production in most categories.
