Marcus Morris Calls Out Joel Embiid for Flopping After War of Words Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has never been one to shy away from getting involved in on-court scuffles, frequently taking part in disputes with opposing players.

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris has had enough of Embiid's antics, and called out the Sixers' big man for flopping after a screaming match in the second quarter of Wednesday night's game.

The pair of former Kansas Jayhawks got into it after Morris appeared to pull Embiid to the floor while fighting for rebounding position. Morris was called for a foul on the play, but not before the two big men got locked into a verbal altercation -- which of course escalated.

Although Morris was seen shouting expletives to the tune of "I'll knock you out," Embiid didn't seem quite so eager to throw hands last night. That's likely because he's already faced a two-game suspension this season after his quarrel with Karl Anthony-Towns.

Embiid's teammates were immediately holding him back while he and Morris exchanged words, and eventually tensions settled on the court. Morris, however, remains less than pleased with Embiid's antics.

The Knicks and Sixers face off again Friday, Nov. 29 at Madison Square Garden. Fans can certainly expect tensions to flare during that showdown.
