NBA Investigates Joel Embiid's Confrontation with Columnist Over Article Mentioning Late Brother
Nov 3, 2024, 04:15 AM
Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid was involved in an altercation with Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes following the team's 124-107 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, which dropped the Sixers to a 1-4 record. Embiid reportedly took issue with a recent column by Hayes that referenced his late brother and son while questioning his professionalism and effort to stay in shape. The confrontation escalated with Embiid verbally confronting Hayes in the locker room, stating, "You can say I suck, you can say whatever you want about me as a player. Don't ever put my dead brother's name in your mouth." Embiid then shoved Hayes before leaving the locker room. The NBA has announced that it is investigating the incident.
