Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has bullied some of the top teams in the Western Conference over the past two weeks, averaging 29.8 points and 16 rebounds in victories over the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
The man is a monster. He’s 7 feet tall. He’s 250 pounds. And now he’s coming for the Kings (26-25), who will play host to the 76ers (34-18) on Saturday night at Golden 1 Center.
“He’s got some moves and his footwork is really great,” Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein said. “He plays with a lot of power up top and his base is so strong, you can’t let him get to his spot.
