LOS ANGELES, California: Joel Embiid made a dazzling return from a two-month injury layoff to inspire the Philadelphia 76ers to an upset 109-105 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

The NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player was a surprise late inclusion in the Sixers' starting lineup at the Wells Fargo Center, returning to the hardwood after suffering a knee injury in a defeat to Golden State on January 30.
