Here’s what Joel Embiid told Drake after 76ers lost to Raptors

Drake didn’t just join a bunch of Toronto Raptors fans in mocking Joel Embiid’s airplane celebration after the Raps’ Game 5 win on Tuesday night.

He also got in the talented but fatigued Philadelphia 76ers center’s ear after the contest. As Embiid walked off the floor, he and the rapper/actor/Raptors ambassador exchanged words, and although we’re not professional lip readers, it appeared that the star told Drake that “I’ll be back” for a Game 7 that would take place in Toronto. Of course, that would require the Sixers to win Game 6 at home and also for Embiid to perform better than he’s played while battling a virus.

And what Raptors’ TV analyst Leo Rautins heard:

Embiid just walked by Drake and said “I’ll be back” …Thursday @Raptors it’s on…

Although Embiid didn’t notice the airplane celebration trolling …

… he did confirm he told Drake he said he’d be “back”:

This would mark at least the ninth time Drake has gotten into it with an NBA player, and it’s never going to get old.
