Embiid is averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest while shooting 26.9% from the field in two games.

The 76ers are just 2-10 in their first 12 games, which has them as the 14th seed in the Eastern Conference.

They are also in the middle of a three-game losing streak.

Embiid is in his ninth season playing for the 76ers.

He's one of the best centers in NBA history, but the franchise has been unable to reach the Eastern Conference finals during his tenure.
