Joel Embiid revealed at the Philadelphia 76ers media day that he has lost between 11 and 13 pounds during the vacations. The Cameroonian only played 39 games in the 2023-24 season, after winning the MVP in 2022-23 by completing 66 games. Throughout his playoff career, Embiid has suffered various injuries that have limited his peak performance. He aims to make a change at 30 years old.
"I still have a long way to go," commented Embiid on his weight loss. "I still want to lose more, but it's a process. I think for me, and Daryl will tell you, as soon as we lost last year, I just texted him: 'We have to do whatever it takes to make sure I have a full and healthy season. This year, there's no agenda. No All-Star. No All-NBA. None of that. It's whatever it takes to ensure I'm ready to play'."
