Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has lost 25-30 pounds in the offseason, focusing on maintaining his health for the playoffs after a history of injuries. He aims to share the scoring load with new teammates, including Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, rather than carry the entire offensive burden. Embiid signed a three-year, $192.9 million extension and is prioritizing fitness over individual accolades this season to enhance the team's championship potential.
