Sometimes he likes to not play because he’s injured.
Sometimes he likes to not play because he’s just a little too sleepy to play that night.
Sometimes he likes to not play because he ate too much Shake Shack before the game.
Sometimes he likes to not play because he punched a reporter in the hallway and got suspended.
Either way, Joel Embiid’s perfect world would see him play like 20-25 games per year.
So tonight against the Spurs, he found a new way to get himself off the floor.
Although this one may have been the lowest of them all.
Listen–I’m an equal opportunity hater just as much as the next guy.
But holy shit, Joel.
The worst part about it is that you know he wouldn’t have done anything either.
Such a fake tough guy “hold me back” move.
Anyway, go Sixers.
