In a recent turn of events, NBA player Joel Embiid has found himself at the center of controversy. After getting into a physical altercation with a reporter, he was handed a suspension, causing him to miss a few games. However, what makes this suspension even more interesting is that it sets up his debut to be against the very team that knocked him out of the playoffs last season.
The suspension was served during the Sixers' game against the Clippers in Inglewood, California on Wednesday. This means that he will also miss the upcoming games against the Lakers and Hornets before finally returning to the court to face his old rivals, the Toronto Raptors.
For those who may not be familiar, Embiid has gained a reputation as a "villain" among fans at Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks. His on-court antics and trash-talking have made him a polarizing figure, with some loving his bravado and others finding it disrespectful. Regardless, his presence on the court always adds an element of excitement to the game.
But this suspension has caused some speculation as to whether or not he will continue his antics when he returns to the game. Some believe that this incident may have humbled him and caused him to reevaluate his behavior. Others argue that he will come back with a vengeance, looking to make a statement against the team that knocked him out of the playoffs.
Only time will tell how this suspension will affect Embiid's game and his relationship with the media. But one thing is for sure, his return to the court against the Raptors will definitely be a game to watch.
