On a night where one Sixers star took home the Rookie of the Year award, another face of the franchise reveled in an honor of a different kind.
Joel Embiid will grace the cover of NBA Live 19 due out in September, publisher Electronic Arts announced Monday during the broadcast of the 2018 NBA Awards. The selection marks the first ever for a Sixer in the game’s history, debuting in 1994.
The All-NBA second-team center took to his own Twitter account to share the news.
Excited to finally reveal that I’m on the cover of @easportsnba #NbaLive19 pic.
