VIDEO: Drake Sarcastically Claps in Joel Embiid's Face During Scoreless Performance vs Raptors
By Michael Luciano
The Toronto Raptors once again proved to be kryptonite for the Philadelphia 76ers, as Nick Nurse's crew came out on top in a 101-96 win. 76ers star center Joel Embiid failed to get on the scoresheet, as he was held scoreless for the first time in his career. Raptors superfan Drake was loving it, and he let Embiid hear it.

What sort of mysterious illness or injury will Embiid say that he has this week? It seems like every time he struggles in a big game, that always crops up in the postgame.
Embiid once again struggled against Raptors center Marc Gasol, who managed to at least keep 'The Process' in check in key moments during their playoff series last season. With Gasol shadowing him, Embiid missed all 11 shots and all three of his free throws. He turned it over four times and picked up five fouls.

Not the best day at the office.
The book might be out on Embiid. If you can withstand his bruising moves down low, which Gasol and Al Horford have proven they can do, then his effectiveness goes right down into the toilet. Embiid is still growing as a player, and he needs to figure out how to handle Gasol.
