INDIANAPOLIS — Is Joel Embiid fighting an uphill battle in the MVP race?
Do voters for the NBA’s most prestigious individual award hold the 76ers star to a steeper evaluation curve? Or would it be just another tough break if last season’s runner-up missed out this year as well?
Many consider Embiid the league’s most dominant player this season as he’s put up eye-popping numbers from the start. As a result, he has been the frontrunner for the award until recently.
