Joel Embiid is regarded as one of the best big men in the league. He has also showed his funny side from time to time through interviews and social media activity. The clip above is a bit unexpected, but it sure did bring out some laughs.

The 76ers entered the game with a 49-29 record, third in the Eastern Conference. From the looks of it, the Sixers are in good position to take the third seed and could face either the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, or Orlando Magic (also the Miami Heat) in the first round of the playoffs.

The Sixers will pick up where they left off last year. In 2018, they qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the 2011-2012 season. However, they were manhandled by the Boston Celtics in five games in the second round. With a new and improved lineup this year, 76ers fans are hoping their team can go deeper into the playoffs. Joel Embiid will need to be at the forefront of any Philadelphia playoff surge.

The Sixers' last games in the regular season will be with the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, the Miami Heat on Tuesday, and then the Bulls once again on Wednesday.
