Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid has followed up on his cryptic IG post where it looked like Jimmy Butler was recruiting him to the Miami Heat. In his latest tweet, JoJo made Sixers fans know he's “PHILA TOUGH.”
Embiid and the Sixers were booed on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, but Philly still wound up winning the game. The Cameroonian big man told the crowd to hush after they were celebrating a made 3-pointer by him.
It has caused some unnecessary drama for the Sixers, so it was great Embiid came back with this tweet to settle everyone down.
Made for this… If I can take it then you can too. PHILA TOUGH!!! #AllLove pic.twitter.com/hno6UH1GPD

The Sixers haven't looked like title contenders in a season where they were picked to at least get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Embiid's fit with Ben Simmons and now Al Horford continues to be a concern.
However, this is Philly. As long as the Sixers just win games they are supposed to and give maximum effort in the playoffs, there will be no boos.
Right now, they are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Joel Embiid is still working on getting back in shape after he missed time with the left hand injury. Since returning to the lineup on Jan. 28, he's averaging 20.3 points and 10.6 rebounds while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc.
