Ah, it’s all-star weekend. Despite many players not wanting to play during the annual weekend, most of the players are heading to participate in the weekend’s festivities. The Philadelphia Sixers’ MVP frontrunner, Joel Embiid, is going to be a starter for the fourth straight year.
Embiid is on an absolute tear to start the first half of the season. The big man has played in 30 of the team’s 36 games. In these matchups, he’s averaging 30.2 points per game, with just under 12 rebounds. While his performance on the court is stellar, his contributions away from the game continue to be just as impactful.
