Joel Embiid appeared to take a moment out of his Monday evening to throw some shade in the direction of Boston Celtics big man Aron Baynes.
During the fourth quarter of Monday’s Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Baynes corralled a loose ball facing away from the basket. He briefly waited before turning towards the hoop, all while teammate Al Horford was pointing towards the basket.

Not long after that odd play, Embiid appeared to tweet about Baynes, calling him “Man bun.”
Man bun is in NBA just to get dunked on

Embiid may have gotten his joke off, but Baynes ultimately has the last laugh since his team is still participating in the playoffs while the Philadelphia 76ers have been eliminated.
