Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns Take Fight off Court With Savage NSFW Instagram War
By Mark Powell
To quote the basketball Gods above, "THIS LEAGUE!"
Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns have beef after the two big men went tumbling down onto the court together Wednesday night, leading to a near-brawl and KAT literally tapping out after Ben Simmons had him pinned to the hardwood.
Of course, Embiid took to IG (as he tends to do) and took one last shot at the Wolves star, even tagging former Minnesota guard and 76ers teammate Jimmy Butler in the post.
Yep, that's about as NSFW as it gets.
Credit to KAT, however, for not whimpering silently into the night. Towns defended himself with an IG post of his own, offering several...untimely photos of Embiid in his testimony.
Embiid himself commented on Towns' hateful post, hoping to get the last word in this fairly one-sided argument.
While the NBA can't be thrilled with the casual terminology being thrown around by two of the Association's biggest stars, this drama will only do wonders for the popularity of the league this early in the season.
Hell, even Towns' mom got involved just after the scrum.
Embiid has a tendency to take shots at his competition, especially fellow big men (just ask Andre Drummond). Towns is just the latest victim.
