Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished second in MVP voting, but ended up on the All-NBA Second Team. With MVP winner Nikola Jokic also being a center, the ballot votes just didn't pour in for Joel.

Something that's been a talking point of late is reportedly getting attention from the NBA's head honcho Adam Silver. The league commissioner acknowledged that the positional restrictions are being looked at, particularly after what happened to the Sixers star this season.

Via ESPN's Tim Bontemps:

“In terms of determinations for All-NBA, I think a fair amount of consideration is going into whether [the media] should just be picking top players than be picking by position,” Silver said at a news conference ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. “I think we are a league that has moved increasingly toward position-less basketball, and the current system may result in some inequities based on the happenstance of what your position is.

It's nearly indisputable that Joel Embiid has been one of the best five players in the league for the Sixers this season. Getting knocked down a peg simply because there is only one center spot per team certainly is a tough pill to swallow. Silver acknowledged that the All-NBA teams have major significance to the players, both financially and in terms of their individual resumes.

“So that is something we're looking at. It's something that we will discuss with the players association because it has an impact on incentives and players contracts, and it has, you know, deep meaning for their legacy as well. So we will look at those things.”

If the NBA does pull the trigger on All-NBA voting reform, a repeat scenario of this season would result in Joel Embiid's very first All-NBA First Team selection. But given how badly the Sixers star wants that MVP award, perhaps could erase any doubt with a revenge campaign next season.
