NBA fans poke fun at Joel Embiid's dramatic flop during the game against the Heat.

Joel Embiid is known for his ability to draw fouls, and sometimes that can involve what some consider "flopping" or exaggerating contact. And, he did it AGAIN during the Philadelphia 76ers versus Miami Heat play-in tournament at Wells Fargo Cente.

Joel Embiid who scored 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists, pulled off an over-the-top free throw theatrics which prompted trolling from NBA fans.

"That’s how he gets injured so much," wrote one fan.

 


"Lol, what a Clown," wrote another fan.

 


"His knees are so cooked." read a third comment.

 


"He should never have returned after surgery," wrote one NBA fan bringing up Joel's surgery on his left knee in February 2024 to repair a torn lateral meniscus. This injury occurred during a game against the Golden State Warriors.

 


"Bro don’t wanna play no more," a fourth fan threw some shade.


One comment read, "Haha, Joel Embiid always knows how to add some extra entertainment to the game!  Gotta love the drama he brings to the court!"
