Joel Embiid and Marcus Morris Respond to In-Game Fight

During postgame interviews, Morris said “He’s too big to be flopping. He’s just flopping and then grabbing. I’m not the one that’s going to take that. He knows that. He know what I’m about.”

Embiid responded to the situation complaining, “I didn’t have anything with him. I just got thrown on the ground and I literally don’t know why I got a technical foul, being the victim. I didn’t do anything. I feel like it’s starting to get ridiculous with the flagrants.” He added “It’s just annoying.”

This isn’t Embiid’s first scuffle of the season though. On October 30, Embiid and Karl Anthony Towns, of the Minnesota Timberwolves, got into a big one. Teammates had to separate the two after Towns tried to punch Embiid and they began fighting. The fight continued on twitter and both players got a two game suspension.
