Pacers guard Justin Anderson yells for Sixers star Joel Embiid to be MVP
After delivering yet another terrific performance on Tuesday to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a win over the Indiana Pacers, Joel Embiid built his case to be named MVP of the 2021-22 season. He had 45 points and 13 rebounds as he now moves into the lead for the scoring race in the NBA.
Embiid made sure the Sixers did not let this one slip away as the Pacers cut a 27-point deficit down to just five late in the game. The big fella re-entered the game and he restored order as the Sixers were then able to go on and win their third consecutive game.
In the middle of his postgame interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia, former Sixers guard, and current Pacers guard Justin Anderson cut him off to steal the mic and deliver a message for Embiid to be named the MVP winner.
“Give him the damn MVP”

There are still three games left for the Sixers so that is all that’s left for Embiid to continue to build his case to win the award. His next chance will be on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors on the road.
