Joel Embiid Debuts Funny Hairstyle in Birthday Tweet During Coronavirus Outbreak
By Mark Powell
Holy cow, we found it. We've found the best tweet of the coronavirus outbreak, and it does not read "you're allowed to go outside".
Joel Embiid, like all NBA players, it stuck at home waiting for a return to action. Basketball fans are similarly disappointed with the break, but at the very least we have some fantastic personalities to fall back on. Embiid wished himself a happy birthday on Twitter, revealing a joke of a hairstyle he's had plenty of time to work on.
Blessed to see another year but damn I’m getting old... I wish it could’ve been in different circumstances but all we can do is Pray and take the necessary measures to protect ourselves and others. Also TRUST THE PROCESS #26 pic.twitter.com/JIvi0bJw6A

If Embiid debuts this look on the basketball court, all bets are off. The Sixers center, as well as fellow Philly star Ben Simmons, haven't performed nearly as well as expected this season in the Eastern Conference. Yet, the Sixers are one of the teams that could actually benefit from time off due to injury concerns, specifically for Simmons.

Embiid is already a social media star, and that should only increase given all the time we have on our hands.
