On Tuesday night, Joel Embiid scored 45 points against the Pacers to surpass LeBron James as the league’s leading scorer
Embiid’s 45 points were his second-highest output of the season. He scored 50 points on Jan. 19 against the Magic.
The last center to win the scoring title was Shaquille O’Neal back in 2000. Embiid is now on track to end that drought this year as he battles for MVP honors with reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, a two-time MVP in Antetokounmpo and others. He would be the first center with at least a 30-point average since the NBA merger,James has missed four of the last six games, and he will need to play in at least two more games to qualify for the scoring title.
