Joel Embiid doesn’t seem to have a better handle on the Philadelphia 76ers’ Markelle Fultz situation than any of us. And that’s left him concerned. As the first-time All-Star and arguably Defensive Player of the Year favorite recently told NBA TV (via Philly Voice‘s Kyle Neubeck): “I don’t know what the origin of the problems [...]

Joel Embiid didn’t play in the Philadelphia 76ers’ Monday night loss to the Chicago Bulls. Nor did he play in their Tuesday night loss to the Sacramento Kings.

The Philadelphia 76ers? In the NBA Finals? Against the Golden State Warriors? In a winner-take-all Game 7? Joel Embiid will take it. Actually, strike that: He’s already predicted it.

Joel Embiid is still riding or dying with Sam Hinkie.

Joel Embiid is an expert troller. Whether he’s talking trash on the court, coming up with fire Instagram locations after a victory or dropping snarky gold on Twitter, he’s always going in on everyone who doesn’t play for the Philadelphia 76ers. I mean, Kevin Durant was excited the Golden State Warriors erased a huge lead [...]

Kevin Durant is really happy the Golden State Warriors didn’t lose to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. He wouldn’t have been able to check Joel Embiid’s Twitter timeline if they didn’t: Well, this is just rich. Among every player in the NBA who might, quite possibly, maybe rush to Twitter immediately after a game, [...]

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. The latest example of his equal-opportunity disdain for the opponent came on Monday night following a victory over Los Angeles Clippers. Embiid piled on 32 points [...]
