Joel Embiid made an appearance on SportsCenter on Tuesday night. As always, it was appointment viewing.

In an interview with Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, Embiid shared the circumstances of his dust-up with Donovan Mitchell in the third quarter of the Sixers’ 107-86 win on Monday night.

Apparently, after Mitchell knocked down a three-point shot earlier in the quarter, the Jazz rookie remarked that, in his opinion, Embiid lacked the ability to guard him. Thus, when Embiid swatted Mitchell’s shot off the backboard a few possessions later, he took some time to share his own perspective on the situation.
