Despite the heckling, Embiid remained focused, continuing to battle in the paint and help guide his team to victory. The Grizzlies fought hard until the end, but Philadelphia’s composure in crunch time proved decisive.

It couldn't have gone much worse for the Philadelphia 76ers in their most recent game with their three best players. The 76cers were playing against the Detroit Pistons today at the Little Caesars Arena. Despite the absence of Detroit standout Cade Cunningham, the 76cers lost to the Detroit Pistons 125–112 in a humiliating performance that saw them fall down by as much as 34 points.
The talking point of the NBA match was the heated exchange between Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr. Embiid entered the timeout in frustration after his teammate Oubre made a clumsy attempt to hustle back on defense during a fast break in the third quarter.
The two got into a furious argument after he imitated Oubre's running. Tyrese Maxey and Justin Edwards' expressions speak for themselves. Before the game started up again, Embiid and Oubre ended up hugging it out. It is not unusual for teammates to argue, even if they are heated.
