Joel Embiid
Joel Hans Embiid is a Cameroon-born basketball player, who plays for the Philadelphia 76ers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Embiid has been a part of two All-Star games. Before being drafted in the 2014 NBA Draft, he played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks for a span of one year. He is the third player to be selected and also the highest paid selected player from his native country, Cameroon. During his time with the Kansas Jayhawks, he was among the 30 finalists nominated for the Naismith College Player of the Year. He made his debut for the 76ers quite late due to his foot and knee injuries. In his debut season, he was named to be a part of the NBA All-Rookie First Team even though he had played only 31 games for his team. Embiid has been nicknamed ‘The Process’. He was chosen in the preliminary team to play for Cameroon at the 2017 FIBA AfroBasket in the Republic of Congo, but he did not compete in it.

Joel Embiid (knee) questionable for 76ers in Game 7

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is considered questionable to play Sunday in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and Embiid's knee is still proving to be a problem. It's likely he'll play through it like the last few games - despite questionable tags - but it's a situation that should continue to be monitored. Should Embiid be held out or limited in any way, that could mean more work for Dwight Howard.

Joel Embiid trying not to recognize Trae Young

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has torched the Philadelphia 76ers in just about every game of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the two teams, but Joel Embiid believes the point guard has gotten plenty of help from the officials. Though, we can only assume Embiid was talking about Young when he complained about the officiating following Game 6.

Sixers star Joel Embiid fires scary warning to Trae Young, Hawks after forcing Game 7

After helping the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6, Joel Embiid is ready to go all-out in their do-or-die showdown on Sunday. In his postgame presser following the Sixers’ 104-99 win, Embiid emphasized that there is no way he would play as poorly as he did in the contest. The Cameroonian big man recorded 22 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks, but he shot 9-of-24 from the field (including 1-of-4 from the 3-point territory).

Sixers' Joel Embiid Questionable for Game 7 vs. Hawks

The Philadelphia 76ers' trend of listing Joel Embiid as questionable before every game in the second-round series against the Atlanta Hawks continues ahead of Game 7. Ever since going down with a knee injury during Game 4 on the road in the first round against the Washington Wizards, Embiid hasn't been in the best shape. Considering he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee, the big man has been playing with a significant setback in the postseason.
