Joel Embiid has passed more than just his genes to his son, Arthur. Recently, Embiid’s wife Anne De Paula, posted on Instagram showing her son playing with a batman mask, mimicking his father who has been also playing his games with a mask. Embiid took to playing with a mask as a result of a sinus fracture, and this has become a signature of his as of late.
In the Instagram post, Embiid’s son can be seen wearing a black-and-white checkered onesie holding a small basketball and grinning while wearing the batman mask. Embiid and De Paula have been in a relationship since 2018, and had Arthur in 2020. Arthur is named after Embiid’s late brother who passed away in a car accident back in 2014.
In his most recent game for the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid managed to put up an impressive 28 points to lead the team on the scoreboard. Embiid also grabbed 12 rebounds in that game, while assisting six times.

As of now, the 76ers are 11th in the Eastern Conference after winning 15 games and losing 20.
