NBA players swatting kids shots and dunking on them at summer events is a tradition like no other and yesterday it was Joel Embiid’s turn to get in on the fun.
While at a Sixers event yesterday, Embiid took to the court in some Yeezys and took on some young fans in attendance:

Somewhat more importantly, Embiid also discussed his health and said that he is feeling “100 percent:”

That statement backs up Brett Brown’s declaration that the big man is on pace to play this preseason.
