Joel Embiid and Montrezl Harrell got animated with one another during the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, but it does not sound like something Embiid is going to lose any sleep over.
Embiid, who scored a game-high 28 points and grabbed 19 rebounds, was asked after the game about battling in the post with Harrell. He dismissed the Clippers big man and said he is “nobody for me to worry about.”

Harrell actually had an impressive game himself with 20 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, but we know who would win the battle between him and Embiid most of the time. We also know that both Embiid and Harrell won’t hesitate to talk trash, so it’s no surprise they got into it.
Embiid recently slighted the reigning Defensive Player of the Year after a big game, and Harrell called out fans in LA after his team’s win over a rival. That’s just part of their game.
