Joel Embiid Returns to the Court in South Philly – to Play Pickup With a Kid

After sharing an Instagram story earlier in the day showing off his modeling skills, Joel Embiid shared footage of him playing some pickup at a playground in South Philly.

It's not clear exactly who the lucky one-on-one partner is, but Embiid went at it with a youngster about a third of his size. The results were as one-sided as you might expect.

Safe to say JoJo showed no mercy and swatted the kid's shot all the way to Pat's and Geno's. See for yourself below.

And here's Embiid ready to be a model.
