The game against the Toronto Raptors was the lowest point for Joel Embiid this season and arguable his career. Being held to zero points is something that won’t happen to Embiid again, at least during his prime. After the disaster of a game, Embiid finished the month strong. Injuries, load management and a suspension limited his game actions, but he played up to his All-Star standards. There were only four games he failed to score at least 20 points.

Josh Richardson doesn’t have the highest point per game of this month, but his play was essential to the Sixers success. Considering his limited role on offense, Richardson was able to make the most out of what was given. He was the Sixers best player in several key games in November, but sadly his month was cut short by injury.
Players grew over the course of the month and the Philadelphia 76ers grew as a team as a result of the players individual improvement. Agree with the rankings? Comment below if you believe the rankings need to be different.
