Sixers’ Joel Embiid named 2022 NBA All-Star starter

The 2022 NBA All-Star starters have been announced, and as we all expected Joel Embiid has officially made the cut.

Embiid has now made the All-Star game for five straight years, and joins DeMar DeRozan, Trae Young, Giannis Antetokounmpo and captain Kevin Durant as a starter for the Eastern Conference.

Over in the Western Conference, Steph Curry, Ja Morant, LeBron James and Nikola Jokic have been named as deserving starters along with... somehow... Andrew Wiggins.

Anyway, Embiid could not be more deserving of being named an All-Star starter again. After being the MVP runner-up last season, the big fella has managed to take his game to yet another level this year with a range of improvements.
