Joel Embiid’s mask has never been made before. It’s stronger than plastic.

Embiid’s mask is the first of its kind. Here’s everything to know about it.

Joel Embiid is wearing a black mask with clear goggles in his first game back from injury, which is also the first-ever playoff game of his career. The mask is the first of it’s kind.
