76ers Face Turmoil Amid Struggles and Team Issues

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid expressed anger over the leak of a team meeting where he was criticized for tardiness by teammate Tyrese Maxey, calling the leaker a 'real piece of s—t'. The meeting, initiated by Kyle Lowry following a loss to the Miami Heat, highlighted issues like Embiid's punctuality and broader team struggles. Despite the tension, Embiid and Maxey maintain a good relationship and Embiid acknowledged the need to improve. The 76ers have struggled this season with injuries and a poor record of 2-12, exacerbated by Embiid's own knee issues and a suspension for a separate altercation. This turmoil comes after significant roster changes, including signing Paul George, who is now dealing with injuries as well. Embiid's outburst underscores the importance of locker room privacy, a sentiment shared by other NBA players like Bobby Portis Jr.
