The Philadelphia 76ers are having a disastrous start to their season.
The Sixers are 2-11 and tied with the Washington Wizards for the worst record in the league. Star center Joel Embiid has missed time due to both injuries as well as a suspension that he earned after getting physical with a reporter.
It appears that even when Embiid has been available, he’s been neglecting his responsibility to his teammates, and at least one other 76ers star is sick of how Embiid has been acting.
“Tyrese Maxey reportedly called out Joel Embiid for always being late, per Shams Charania.
‘In the meeting, Maxey challenged Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late ‘for everything’ and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff, sources briefed on the meeting told ESPN,’” reported prominent NBA Twitter account NBA Central.

Fans reacted to the brutal call out on social media.
“Maxey is a leader bro that’s why I mess wit him so much,” one fan said on Twitter.
“Surprised Embiid didn’t flop onto the table or try to fight him,” one fan added.
“Props to Maxey but this sounds like a disaster,” one fan added.
“‘Always late,”’doesn’t play back to backs, free throw merchant, doesn’t play road games, trashes other players in the media, plays dirty, flops, whines for attention and awards, abandons country of origin for Olympic glory,” one fan added.
“One of them leaves. I think everyone is getting fed up with Embiid’s drama,” one fan added.
It’s looking like the Sixers are going to have to make some major changes here soon.
