The Long Island nuptials came amid rumors that Embiid could take his talents to the Knicks. Last week, ESPN\u2019s Zach Lowe and Dave McMenamin teased a possible pairing on an episode of Lowe\u2019s \u201cThe Lowe Post\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p>McMenamin said, \u201cI mean, line up the Acela Express and send him up to New York. That\u2019s been what has been the murmurs. Lowe said New York, we\u2019ve all heard New York; we know the connection between Knicks president Leon Rose and Joel Embiid.\u201d Rose is Embiid\u2019s former agent, and the two have remained close.<\/p>\n<p>Sixers insider Keith Pompey of the <em>Philadelphia Inquirer\u00a0<\/em>also fed into the buzz during a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SiriusXMNBA\/status\/1682809084582535168\">appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio.<\/a> He said, \u201cJoel already owns a house up in New York; he\u2019s had it for a while. The worst-kept secret is that the Knicks have been compiling and keeping a hold of their first-round draft picks, hoping and praying that Joel Embiid asks out.\u00a0I can see that absolutely happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations and Joel Embiid and his beautiful bride!
