Embiid, George make triumphant NBA returns in Sixers win

Former NBA Most Valuable Player Embiid showed no sign of rust after missing 13 games with an oblique strain, scoring 35 points -- including 15 of the Sixers' first 19 as they seized control with a 38-point first quarter. George, returning from a 25-game suspension for taking a medication that violated the league's anti-drug program, took longer to warm up, scoring 23 of his 28 in the second half. George finished with six three-pointers and Embiid made all three of his from beyond the arc on an efficient 12-of-17 shooting performance.
