While he's absolutely one of the most dominant players in the game, the big man has struggled to stay healthy for a majority of the seasons throughout his career. Relying on Embiid to stay healthy and on the floor is a tall task for the Sixers. Unfortunately, he missed chunks of games throughout the year, which swayed voters to choose Jokic instead. Had Embiid played more than 51 games last season, he probably would've beaten out Jokic for the MVP award. What's keeping Embiid from receiving more votes? His injury concerns most likely. Then comes Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic finishing with Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant, who received 37-percent of the votes. Right in front of Embiid is the former MVP winner Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. That places him fourth overall, tied with Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden. Seven percent of NBA GMs voted for Embiid.
