"We are so blessed and fortunate to welcome our little boy in this family. First of 11 or more? Trying to convince her but I’m not winning so far. I’m just trying to build a soccer team but for real I’m so excited for the future," Embiid said.
Considering Embiid wants 11 more kids, we're sure his girlfriend will have something to say about that, considering it would be a painful endeavor.
Regardless, congratulations to both of them.
