Joel Embiid is no strange to on-court beef. However, he seems to have no interest in starting a feud off the court with an unlikely character.

Following the Philadelphia 76ers narrow 122-120 win over the San Antonio Spurs, Joel Embiid had his attention stolen as a rat made its way through the ceiling in Wells Fargo Center. The startled Sixers star had to regain his train of thought after a reporter pointed out to him what it was.

This isn’t the first time NBA players have been interrupted by animals. Most notably are the times that the Spurs’ AT&T Center have had intruders of the bat variety. In 2009 Manu Ginobili famously swatted a bat out of air mid-game at the Spurs home stadium, and in 2015 their mascot- the Coyote- did his own handy work to secure the arena.

Joel Embiid had himself a game against the Spurs, putting up 33 points, 19 rebounds, and 3 assists on San Antonio. This has been nothing new for Embiid who has been playing at an MVP level for a while now. For the month of January, he is averaging 29.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 0.8 steals.

As the Sixers take on the Denver Nuggets on Saturday and Jimmy Butler’s health still not looking all there, the big man will look to continue his reign of terror on opposing NBA teams, but will try to stay away from the rats.
