Embiid becomes the first Philadelphia Sixer to grace the cover of the video game.
NBA Live 19 is due out in September.
Per Philly.com:
The selection marks the first ever for a Sixer in the game’s history, debuting in 1994.
With his larger-than-life personality and growing profile after a breakout year, Embiid was a natural fit to carry the next installment in the NBA Live franchise. The 7-foot, 250-pound center in his first full season put up 22.9 points per game to go along with 11.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 63 games and earned an All-Star selection.
