After missing nine games while recovering from hand surgery, Joel Embiid made his way back to the court on Tuesday night for the Philadelphia 76ers for their 115-104 win against the Golden State Warriors. Embiid, who usually wears No. 21 for the 76ers, came out wearing Bryant's No. 24. While Philadelphia already retired that number, in honor of Hall of Famer Bobby Jones, Embiid called Jones ahead of time to ask for permission to wear his number for Bryant.
