Joel Embiid had a few words for D'Angelo Russell as the Philadelphia 76ers took on the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. It was Russell's third game suiting up for the Nets this season. While it's still an adjusting period for D-Lo, it's business as usual for Embiid.
During the first quarter of the matchup, Russell took a technical free throw. With a little over eight minutes remaining in the opening period, D-Lo missed. Embiid couldn't help but react to D'Angelo's brick.
Joel Embiid's words to D'Angelo Russell couldn't be heard during the broadcast. However, Embiid was caught on camera calling out Russell with explicit expressions. Joel's mouth reads:
"Ball don't lie b***h a** ni**a."
