Embiid and Simmons Laugh At Elbowing Jarrett Allen, Nets Not Happy
The Sixers' Joel Embiid is a notorious troll, and when he elbowed the Nets' big man Jarrett Allen in the face, he tried to apologise and ended up laughing with teammate Simmons. The Nets don't think this is a laughing matter, however, and tension is high.

This is an elbow I would NOT want to take. Not for a million dollars. (Okay maybe I would).

Jared Dudley on Embiid laughing at the podium: "I felt a certain type of way about it. Just because you’re laughing when somebody could’ve gotten really, really hurt. That’s been Embiid’s personality. But just because it’s your personality doesn’t mean it’s right."
