PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid inspired the 76ers with his return from a facial injury, Danny Green and Tyrese Maxey each scored 21 points and Philadelphia beat the Miami Heat 99-79 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Friday night.
CAMDEN, N.J. — The Philadelphia 76ers announced Friday morning that superstar center Joel Embiid has cleared the NBA's concussion protocol and participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Game 3 of Philadelphia's Eastern Conference semifinal against the Miami Heat Friday night, moving him a couple of steps closer to returning to the court.
There were few positives for the 76ers to take away from the first two games against Miami: they lost by 14 and 16 points, the first time the 76ers lost back-to-back playoff games by at least 14 points since 2008; the 76ers have shot 14-of-64 from 3 (21.9%); James Harden is shooting 39.4% and not looking like the elite superstar the Sixers need him to be; and Philadelphia is in an 0-2 hole to No. 1 seed Miami.
Harden is going to be 33 next season, and with hamstring injuries compromising him over the past couple of seasons, it's safe to say that his days as an elite scorer are over.

MIAMI (AP) — Bam Adebayo caught a lob for an alley-oop dunk midway through the fourth quarter, then threw a lob to Jimmy Butler for another dunk about a minute later.
MIAMI — After dropping their first two games on the shores of Biscayne Bay to open up this Eastern Conference semifinal against the Heat without superstar big man Joel Embiid, one question looms over the Philadelphia 76ers as the series shifts back to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 3 Friday night:
Bam Adebayo threw a beautiful looping alley-oop pass to Jimmy Butler, whose cut to the rim was freed by a perfectly timed Tyler Herro backscreen. After releasing the ball, Adebayo kept his right hand up as he watched Butler dunk. Adebayo never lowered his hand when possession shifted, immediately pointing out defensive matchups.
