Russell Westbrook still has beef with Joel Embiid after their incident on Saturday.
Embiid fouled Westbrook late in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 117-115 win over Philly, sending both to the ground under the basket. Westbrook was steamed after being fouled and went after Embiid after getting up.
Westbrook’s Thunder pulled out the victory on a Paul George 3-pointer, but that doesn’t mean he was in a great mood after the game. Westbrook was asked whether he was cool with Embiid despite the foul. He gave a terse, profane response: “F— no” (uncensored video here).
In a league where so many guys seem to be friends, seeing an athlete get ticked off and hold competitive grudges the way Westbrook does is refreshing. He better beware of messing with Embiid though, because the Sixers star owns social media.
