Joel Embiid furious after ‘piece of s–t’ leaks juicy details of 76ers team meeting

Joel Embiid isn’t pleased with details of the 76ers’ team meeting after Monday’s loss being leaked, telling reporters after Wednesday’s road loss to the Grizzlies, “whoever leaked that is a real piece of s–t.”

ESPN reported Tuesday that veteran guard Kyle Lowry called for a team meeting after they fell to 2-11 the night before, and Tyrese Maxey called out Embiid for being late “for everything.”

“We talked about a lot of things [during the meeting],” Embiid said Wednesday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I don’t want to get into the details, but that whole thing [with Maxey] probably took 30 seconds. But then again, it’s Joel Embiid, so we’ve got to make everything blown out of proportion.

“It’s whatever. I’ll take it all. I’m the reason for everything, so I’ll take the blame for everything.”

Embiid, 30, and Maxey, 24, are said to have a good relationship that includes mutual accountability.

“Tyrese loves Big Fella, but this is the elephant in the room,” someone who attended the meeting told ESPN.
