VIDEO: Joel Embiid Has Epic Exit After Ejection From 76ers-Wolves for Fighting Karl-Anthony Towns
By Ryan Flores
Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid and Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns went at it on Wednesday night in Philadelphia after the two got tangled up. Towns threw a punch at Embiid that missed, but still managed to put him in a headlock as they slammed into the ground. As a result, both players were ejected from the game. However, before Embiid headed for the locker room, he made sure to pump up the crowd by shadowboxing. Embiid's act resulted in the fans giving him a huge MVP chant while he was on his way out the door.
Both Embiid and Towns will likely be heavily fined by the NBA for their actions, but Joel certainly won't mind after what he just did. The crowd at the Wells Fargo Center is sure to be roaring as the Sixers finish out the game without their star center.
