Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is putting together another incredible season. He is averaging 26.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and a career-high 4.2 assists while putting the Sixers on his back and carrying them through the adversity filled season.
During Philadelphia’s current five-game win streak, he has upped his play even more. He is averaging 33.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks during the streak. He is also shooting 59.2% from the floor and 47.1% from deep.
The 2022 All-Star game in Cleveland is coming up on Feb. 20 and fan voting is underway. The first returns were released on Thursday and Embiid is third among frontcourt players in the East. He trails Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Embiid has made the All-Star game four seasons in a row, so there is a strong likelihood he will make it again for a fifth consecutive season.
