Sixers coach Brett Brown called a Sports Illustrated report on Joel Embiid and his attitude that is undermining a franchise that is rebuilding "wildly inaccurate" and "wildly unfair."
According to the article, published Friday morning, Embiid physically threatened the team's strength coach last season, which caused him to be sent home from a West Coast road trip. The report said Embiid, 21, repeatedly refused to answer questions by the training staff about his workouts as he rehabs from two surgeries on his right foot.
"It's just one of those things that we move on from," Brown said before a 127-118 preseason loss to Washington at the Wells Fargo Center Friday night.
