NBA MVP Race Heats Up: Embiid's Eligibility Questioned
Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid has been enjoying an MVP-caliber season, but there's a question hanging over his head: will he be eligible for the prestigious award?
To be eligible for the MVP award, players must appear in at least 65 games. Embiid, who has played in just 32 games this season, is 33 games shy of the required threshold.
Embiid's eligibility is a major talking point in NBA circles. Some believe that his dominant play, averaging career-highs in points and rebounds, should make him eligible regardless of the number of games he plays.
However, others argue that the 65-game requirement is in place for a reason. They believe that it ensures that only the most durable and consistent players are considered for the MVP award.
With just under a month remaining in the regular season, Embiid's eligibility will likely be determined by his availability. If he can stay healthy and play in at least 65 games, he will be a strong candidate for the MVP award.
But if he falls short, it will reignite the debate about whether or not the 65-game requirement is fair.
