Joel Embiid shoves reporter for bringing up 'my dead brother and my son' in scathing column
Joel Embiid, who has been feuding with the media recently, took it to a physical level on Saturday night.
The 76ers center shoved Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes following Philadelphia’s 124-107 home loss to the Grizzlies, taking issue with his recent column that referenced the player’s late brother and son — both named Arthur — but no punches were thrown.
The incident came a day after Embiid directly mentioned Hayes after he wrote his scathing column calling the center “the least-dependable superstar in the history of the game,” while also referencing his family members.
