Here’s Joel Embiid Playing Poker in Milwaukee

Kevin is a big optics guy, and so if the Sixers get blown out tonight, the video of Joel Embiid at a Wisconsin casino won’t age well (even if we generally embraced Allen Iverson for this sort of thing— did I mention I once played Roulette with him?).
But we’ll just present this video of Joel Embiid, apparently playing poker, without context. Partly because none is provided.

Sixers are +8.5 against the Bucks tonight.

Barstool Sportsbook’s tipster doesn’t give time and place. But if you want to roll with their implication of fading the underdog Sixers tonight at +8.5, well, then let us recommend FanDuel Sportsbook, which is currently offering the Sixers at +42.5 odds as part of a promotion. Joel can’t place that bet, but you can right here.
And that, folks, is called content marketing.
