Pacers’ Myles Turner calls out Joel Embiid for flopping
Joel Embiid’s list of feuds (friendly or not) continues to grow exponentially.
After the Indiana Pacers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, Pacers big man Myles Turner had a few kind words for his Sixers counterpart Embiid before putting one particular aspect of The Process’ game on blast.
“I always have fun playing against Joel, because he’s so versatile and does a lot of great things. I hope he’s listening,” said Turner, according to Clifton Brown of the Indy Star. “He needs to stop flopping. It’s just annoying, man.”
For some context, the Pacers topped the Sixers 101-98 in a game with crucial Eastern playoff implications. Meanwhile, both Turner (25 points and six rebounds) and Embiid (29 points, 12 rebounds) carried their respective teams.
To Turner’s point though, Embiid has actually himself admitted to flopping.
