Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown has called on fans to lower expectations about returning star Joel Embiid as the Cameroonian center works his way back from a long-term injury. Embiid scored 14 points but the 7ft (2.13m) player's contribution was not enough to stop the Sixers sliding to their sixth loss of the year, 109-84 to the Utah Jazz. The Sixers (0-6), the worst team in the NBA last year with an abysmal record of 10 wins and 72 losses, are looking to Embiid, who has missed all of the last two seasons due to injury, to help transform the franchise's fortunes.
