2022-23 NBA Most Valuable Player, Joel Embiid, has set record after record for the Philadelphia 76ers since being selected third overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. The seven-time All-Star has averaged 27.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 31.9 minutes over 452 career games, all of which he has started. His splits include shooting 50.1% from the field, 33.9% from three-point range, and 82.8% from the foul line.
Shortly before the 2024-25 season began, Embiid inked a contract extension with the Sixers. He led the 76ers in rebounds with 8.2 per game during the season. On Feb. 9 and 11, Embiid achieved back-to-back double-doubles, notching 27 points and 12 rebounds in both games. He finished with the 13th best free-throw percentage in the NBA that season (88.2%).
In 2021-22, “The Process” became the third 76er to win the NBA’s regular season scoring title (Wilt Chamberlain, Allen Iverson); the first seven-footer since Shaquille O’Neal (2000); and the only international player ever. His 30.6 per game average made him the first center since former 76er Moses Malone to average more than 30 for a full season (1982). He repeated the feat two more times, scoring 33.1 points per game in 2022-23 and 34.7 points per game in 2023-24.
On January 22, 2024, Embiid penned yet another moment in basketball and 76ers franchise history, when he recorded 70 points over the San Antonio Spurs. Embiid’s historic night included 18 rebounds and 5 assists on top of the scorching 70 point performance. He surpassed all-time great Wilt Chamberlain’s 68 point franchise record with his indomitable power. Joel defeated his then-career-high 59 points against the Utah Jazz in November 2022.
A native of Cameroon, Embiid grew up playing mostly volleyball and soccer before being spotted by former NBA player Luc Richard Mbah a Moute at a camp in 2011 and influenced his decision to play high school basketball in the United States. He played basketball at the University of Kansas for one year prior to being drafted in the NBA.
Embiid quickly started amassing professional accolades in his first year out of college. He was named a Rookie of the Month three times and selected to the NBA’s All-Rookie First Team in 2017. Since then, Embiid’s long list of accomplishments include being a five-time All-NBA player, a three-time All-Defensive player and an Olympic gold medalist.
