The Sixers have a huge game on deck Wednesday as they’ll take on Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in the first matchup of the East’s Play-In Tournament.
But first, Joel Embiid got to enjoy a cool moment and add another accolade to what will likely be a Hall-of-Fame career. Grant Hill, managing director of Team USA Basketball, presented Embiid with the jersey he’ll wear this summer at the Paris Olympics. The reigning MVP will also sport a new number: 11.
He stays repping the red, white & blue!
Welcome to the #USABMNT @JoelEmbiid!
