NBA Fans React To Joel Embiid News After Grizzlies-76ers Game
On Saturday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 124-107 (at home).
They are now 1-4 in their first five games, and 2023 MVP Joel Embiid has yet to make his season debut.
After the game, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Embiid got into an altercation with a reporter in the locker room.
Via Charania: “76ers’ Joel Embiid got in an altercation with a columnist following tonight’s game in Philadelphia. Embiid took issue with a recent column that referenced his late brother and son, and Embiid shoved the columnist. No punch.”
