Not even fellow Philadelphia 76ers are safe from Joel Embiid’s savagery.
Speaking with the media on Thursday, Embiid took a funny shot at Sixers teammate JJ Redick over his defense, per Derek Bodner of The Athletic.
Embiid on Redick's defense: "Honestly, I thought it was going to be trash, but he's been pretty good."

Granted, the 33-year-old Redick has never been known as a particularly strong defender during his 11-year NBA career. But he is effective within the team dynamic and has been a difference-maker on both ends during his first season in Philly, despite whatever reputation he may have.
Hey, at least Embiid didn’t do Redick as dirty as he did Karl-Anthony Towns earlier this week.
