Sixers star Joel Embiid out and about, attends Real Madrid match

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is an avid soccer fan and has made it clear his favorite team is Real Madrid. So when the international powerhouse made a visit to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Embiid had to make sure he was there to see them.

As the big fella continues to recover from April surgery on that bothersome left knee--which the Sixers expect him to be ready for training camp--Embiid was spotted at The Linc with Philadelphia Union soccer star Kai Wagner. The Union's leader posted a picture on his Instagram story with Embiid while they took in the 3-0 win for Real Madrid.

It's good to see Embiid out and about. While some Sixers fans will want to see him in the gym, that will come in due time, but it's just good to see him in good spirits doing something he likes to do as a hobby and that's root for his favorite soccer team. It's important to do stuff outside of work for mental health aspects.
