PHILADELPHIA —“Troel” Embiid could not keep a straight face while trying to explain his latest internet shenanigans.
When asked about the meme he posted shortly after the blockbuster Ben Simmons-James Harden trade — a man in a black suit who went to the funeral of one of his “haters” just to make sure they had expired — the 76ers’ All-Star center said, “Honestly, I don’t even know what the tweet was about” with a sly smile.
“I just tweeted a random person,” Embiid added following the Sixers’ Friday-night victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. “I just saw the picture on the internet and I thought he was well-dressed. He had a nice suit on. Good-looking. He had some swag, so I just thought it was a good picture.”
