LeBron James earned his first-ever ejection late in the third quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat.

Joel Embiid isn’t in the NBA to make friends. He wouldn’t indiscriminately trash talk everyone in his path if he cared about players who don’t don Philadelphia 76ers jerseys.
