Joel Embiid has been the focal point of this Philadelphia 76ers team ever since he was drafted back in 2014. When he finally overcame his injury setback, Embiid impressed, quickly showing he is one of the best centers in the game.
However, he always has seemed to struggle with his body and conditioning, so much so that last season had reports of him eating multiple meals from Chick-Fil-A on road trips. After experiencing sickness in the playoffs, on top of a crushing Game 7 loss, Embiid seems determined to make that next step.
Embiid has lost 20 pounds and looks as in shape as he has been in his entire NBA tenure.
