Philadelphia 76ers blue road jersey ("Icon Edition") worn by star center Joel Embiid during a game against the Oklahoma Thunder on October 24, 2021, at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. This is an exceptional, fully documented Embiid game-worn jersey. Not only is the jersey accompanied by a signed LOA from the Philadelphia 76ers/Fanatics, but it has also been photo matched to the referenced game (photo matches for the jersey can be accessed at Getty Images under the following numbers:   ). 

According to the 76ers LOA, Embiid wore this jersey for the second half of the game against the Thunder. That game also marked the first style appearance of this blue "Icon Edition" jersey during the season. The jersey is lettered "Phila" across the front and features the number "21" on the front and reverse. "Embiid" is lettered on the reverse, directly above the number.  All front letters and numerals are applied in white on red tackle twill. All reverse letters are applied in white tackle twill. A Nike logo appears on the right breast and a "Crypto.com" patch appears on the left breast. A gold tag patch, bearing the number "3" is affixed to the rear exterior collar (the "3" represents the 76ers three World Championships). An NBA 75th Anniversary logo patch appears directly above Embiid's name on the reverse. A "Nike 54" label is located on the left front tail, along with two adjacent flag tags reading, respectively, "Icon Edition" and "Length +6." An additional tag, reading "Every Player Every Game/PHIE 05860," appears to the left of the Nike label. The notation "@OKC 10/24" is written in black marker on the Nike label. 

Embiid played 33:17 minutes in the game, scoring 22 points with 9 rebounds and 6 assists in the 76ers 115-103 win that night. The game marked the third of the season for club, with the win raising Philadelphia's record to 2-1. Embiid enjoyed one of his finest overall seasons in 2021-2022, finishing the year with a league-leading 30.6 points per game, 11.7 rebounds per game, and 4.2 rebounds per game. The jersey displays light wear, consistent with a single half of use. LOA from the 76ers/Fanatics, with corresponding hologram label affixed to the jersey.
