Joel Embiid Really Looking Forward to Facing Nerlens Noel

By Corin Pauls | CSNPhilly.com Contributor • •

In case you haven't heard, the Sixers traded big man Nerlens Noel to the Dallas Mavericks before Thursday's deadline (see story).

While Noel's former teammates were saddened by the trade, including Joel Embiid, the rookie big man is already looking forward to squaring off against his friend.

The Sixers face Noel and the Mavericks on March 17 at the Wells Fargo Center.
