Sixers’ Joel Embiid Makes Supportive Insta Post

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has significantly reduced his social media trolling, instead using his platform to support community causes. He recently attended an event organized by the NOMO Foundation (New Options, More Opportunities) in partnership with Rhymes with Reason and the Philly Goat Project. Embiid surprised attendees at a BBQ, expressing pride in the foundation's youth initiatives and emphasizing his commitment to giving back to the community.

This appearance marked one of Embiid's rare offseason public engagements. Last year, he was preparing for the Paris Olympics with Team USA, where he won a gold medal. Currently, he is recovering from his second consecutive knee surgery after playing only 19 games during the 2023-2024 season. This followed a previous season where he managed just 39 games due to health issues.

The 76ers hope Embiid will return by training camp. For now, he is prioritizing rest and recovery during his time off before gradually ramping up his training to return to playing shape.
