It is no secret to NBA fans that Philadelphia 76ers rising star center Joel Embiid is one of the most outspoken players in the league, especially when it comes to his presence on social media.
On Tuesday night, Embiid went on his Twitter to take yet another shot at LA Clippers center Willie Reed when he posted an image of the two players.

This post is in reference to an incident that happened the other night between Embiid and Reed during the second quarter of the 76ers' 109-105 victory over the Clippers at Staples Center.
In the video, Reed hacks Embiid hard under the basket and was assessed a Flagrant Foul 1 for his role in the altercation. Afterwards, Embiid can be seen on the Sixers' television broadcast mouthing “He can't f—— guard me!” to the Clippers bench.

Embiid got the last laugh on the night en route to a double-double with a team-high 32 points (11-of-20 from the field), 16 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in 36 minutes of action.
The Sixers will return to Staples Center again tonight to take on rising star rooking point guard Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers. The contest, which is scheduled to tip off shortly after 10:30 p.m. ET, will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
