Joel Embiid
Joel Hans Embiid (/dʒoʊˈɛl ɛmˈbiːd/ joh-EL em-BEED; born March 16, 1994) is a Cameroonian professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After one year of college basketball with the Kansas Jayhawks, he was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft by the 76ers. However, a broken navicular bone in his right foot forced him to miss his entire rookie season, as well as significant portions of the subsequent two seasons. He made his professional debut on October 4, 2016 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. In 2018–19, he was again limited to 31 games but was selected as an All-Star starter for the first time and won Defensive Player of the Year.
