With every NBA superstar worrying that they will be the next shocking trade deadline deal, the pressure to perform has never been higher. For instance, there's little to suggest the Philadelphia 76ers would part with Joel Embiid after all they've been through together but the Luka Doncic shocker proves no one is safe. So Embiid answered the call, wasting no time in scoring seven points in the first four minutes against the visiting Dallas Mavericks en route to a 29-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double.
After the game he jokingly told reporters that he hit the court running because he was scared of getting traded.
