The Philadelphia 76ers had their Media Day on Friday before heading on a preseason trip to play a game in China against the Dallas Mavericks.
Star center Joel Embiid had some words for Ayton, and promised that Ayton would “get his ass kicked” this season, as I’m sure you’ve already read everywhere else.
But Embiid wasn’t completely disrespectful after Rachel Nichols playfully suggested he should let Ayton play a game or two before going at him like that.
“I can see the comparison because of the potential,” Embiid said of Ayton.
