Joel Embiid shines in first NBA Africa Game

Starving NBA fans got a brief basketball fix Saturday morning, with numerous NBA stars participating in the league’s third annual NBA Africa Game. The game was the culmination of several days worth of charitable work and camps around the continent.

In a face-off between Team World and Team Africa, the former emerged victorious by a score of 96-92. Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari was the MVP, scoring 23 points on an efficient 9-10 shooting.

The best performer, however, was on Team Africa — and it happened to be resident Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid.
