🏀 Sixers superstar Joel Embiid wound up starting the 2023 NBA All-Star Game after all. He made the most of the opportunity. NBCSPhilly
After expressing uncertainty about whether he’d play in this season's NBA All-Star Game, Joel Embiid ultimately suited up Sunday night in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Last year's scoring champion got picked first among the starters by the league’s all-time top scorer, too. Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters. Embiid posted 32 points on 14-for-19 shooting, seven rebounds and four assists in Team LeBron's 184-175 loss to Team Giannis. Jayson Tatum scored an All-Star record 55 points, knocked down 10 of his 18 three-point tries, and earned MVP honors.
The All-Star draft provided perhaps the night's best drama. Captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo first selected the reserves. James then grabbed Embiid as his first starter before picking Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic.
