Embiid took to Twitter to share his joy about the news, saying, "Excited to finally reveal that I'm on the cover of @easportsnba #NbaLive19."

The last two players to make the cover of NBA Live, James Harden (2018) and Russell Westbrook (2017), both won MVP of the league.

The Cameroon-bred big man earned an All-NBA Second Team honor after leading his team to the NBA Playoffs following a 52-win regular season.
