We know that the Sixers held a crisis meeting after the defeat against the Heat, the 11th in 13 matches, and ESPN reveals that the players shared their four truths. It was at the request of Kyle Lowry that this exchange took place, and Tyrese Maxey took the opportunity to attack the lack of punctuality of Joel Embiid. The two All-Stars are very close in life and on the court, and Maxey is perhaps the one who can afford to reframe the former MVP the most. According to ESPN, the leader criticizes Embiid for being late “for everything” and for having an impact on the locker room.
The Sixers are last in the NBA!
Like Monday when he arrived at the last moment for the shootaround then for the warm-up. Embiid would have accepted the criticism, but his repeated delays would weigh heavily on the group, players and coaches. Furthermore, the players explained to Nick Nurse that they wanted to be trained harder. For their part, the staff asked the players to be more determined in training, and to pay more attention to details.
During this collective speech, Embiid spoke about the play and he admitted that he did not understand what the Sixers were trying to execute sometimes on the court. For the moment, the Cameroonian has only played three matches, and the Sixers are dead last in the NBA!
