It is no secret that everyone’s favorite Philadelphia sports figure right now, Joe Embiid, likes himself some Shirley Temples. As Embiid’s play on the court is thriving, his all-star campaign is heating up. Tonight, the Sixers and Aramark, the food vendor at Wells Fargo Center, will promote Embiid and his All-Star voting by selling Shirley Temples for $5 during the game against the New York Knicks.

Additionally, the Sixers are sending Shirley Temple ingredients to the media in hopes of drumming up more support for Embiid’s all-star candidacy.

This guy almost called it.
Sixers play at home the night after Embiid's birthday later this season. Free promotion idea @Sixers: Shirley Temple Night.

Hey, there’s no saying they won’t have another Shirley Temple Night this season.
