The Cameroonian superstar beat Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic to win the award for the first time.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are hoping to reach the final of the Eastern Conference with their star at the helm.

Speaking about opposition powerhouse, Tyrese Mase, Embiid commented, per USA Today:

“Like I said, being aggressive doesn’t mean taking all the shots, it’s about attacking with force. Making sure you get the best looks possible for yourself and creating for your teammates. Tonight, he played with a purpose. He knew what he wanted to do, he knew when to attack, and when to involve everybody else, and that’s what we need from him.”

The Sixers are a win away from reaching the Eastern Conference final.
