Sixers soar as Embiid’s triple-double overwhelms the Chicago Bulls

After missing four games due to ankle issues, Joel Embiid made a triumphant return to the court this Tuesday, showcasing the exceptional level that defines him. The Philadelphia 76ers’ player led his team to a convincing victory over the Chicago Bulls with a score of 110-97.

Embiid left his mark with an impressive triple-double, accumulating 31 points (10 of 20 from the field, 9 of 12 from the free-throw line), 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. The current regular-season MVP has maintained an impressive streak, reaching 14 consecutive games with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds.

Tyrese Maxey (21 points) and Tobias Harris (20 points and 8 rebounds) provided solid support to the center in a dominant performance by the Sixers. The team shook the Bulls with an overwhelming 43-18 lead in the first quarter, heading into halftime with a 31-point advantage (73-42), effectively managing the lead and resting their starters in the final quarter.

Currently, the Sixers are in the third position in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23-10, trailing only the Boston Celtics (26-7) and the Milwaukee Bucks (24-9).

DeMar DeRozan (16 points) and Andre Drummond (11 points and 17 rebounds) stood out in an unfortunate performance by the Bulls (15-20), who had beaten the Sixers just three days earlier but today struggled with three-point shooting, going 7 for 37.

Manchester United knocked out of FA Cup after penalty shootout loss to Fulham

Another disappointment for Manchester United: the defending FA Cup champions were eliminated in this edition’s round of 16, losing in a penalty shootout (4-3 after a 1-1 draw) to Fulham on Sunday at Old Trafford.

Swede Victor Lindelof and Dutchman Joshua Zirkzee were the ‘Red Devils’ who missed their shots against goalkeeper Bernd Leno, sending the ‘Cottagers’ to the penultimate round of the oldest football competition.

The elimination is a heavy blow for a United team that is currently struggling in the Premier League, where they sit in a lowly 14th place.

Now, the Europa League, where they will face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the round of 16 next week, appears to be their only chance to lift a trophy this season. Last year, the FA Cup, in which United triumphed in the final against their neighbors Manchester City, was the competition that saved their campaign. The previous season, they had reached the final, finishing as runners-up.

The 32-year-old forward is expected to sign a short-term contract with Santos as he aims to regain his standing in Brazil ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Posters saying “The Prince is Back” were being sold for 10 reais (about $1.50) around the 20,000-seat Vila Belmiro Stadium, located on the outskirts of São Paulo.
