Giannis, Embiid coming to FIFA 21

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid are crossing over into the world of FIFA.

The NBA stars are being added to FIFA 21 as part of the game's Volta mode, joining other athletes like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

"I'm the best football player and fan in the NBA, so to be able to say that I'm actually in FIFA just proves that," Embiid said in a statement, according to Bill DiFilippo of Uproxx. "Football has such a huge and loyal following across the globe and to see different elements of major sports leagues come together is something I'm thrilled to be a part of."

Antetokounmpo will be available in the game beginning Dec. 5, while Embiid will arrive Dec. 26.

This is the second EA Sports game outside NBA 2K to feature Antetokounmpo. He and his brothers Kostas and Thanasis made history in October as the first NBA players to appear in Madden NFL.
