It could be nothing, just an innocent repurposing of his social media account. Everyone already knows that Joel Embiid is an expert troll. That is on record.
However, this feels clunky and different. Embiid recently tweaked his X account (formerly Twitter) to remove the word “Processing” and “Philadelphia” as his location. Normally, people would be laughing and trying to guess what PR stunt he was up to. Not right now.
The Philadelphia 76ers are arguably the most combustible organization in basketball, following James Harden’s critical comments about Daryl Morey. He wants a trade out of town, but nothing appears imminent, and Harden seems intent on forcing the issue until he’s in another area code.
