Joel Embiid has chilled out on his trolling these days. But when he gets back into that bag, he certainly knows all the right buttons to push.
The Sixers’ star has fans in a frenzy right now and all he did was do a little light editing on his Twitter — er, uh, X — account.
Fans are already a bit tense because of the James Harden situation. He’s calling Daryl Morey a liar in public and very clearly doesn’t want to be in Philadelphia anymore. The Sixers are basically going into the season down a star.

But, now, Embiid also seems to be fanning the flames. The MVP removed “Processing…” from his Twitter bio and also deleted the Philadelphia, PA location that has always been attached to his account.
Normally I think this isn’t worth paying attention to at all but Joel Embiid is too online and calculated that I think it is worth mentioning

Of course, this could be much to do about nothing. But we’re also talking about Joel “Troel” Embiid. This dude is extremely online. He knows exactly what simple gestures like these do to people.
Add in the fact that he’s also said that he wouldn’t mind winning a championship in Philadelphia or somewhere else and, yeah, the simple change to the Twitter bio becomes that much more unsettling for 76ers fans.
They don’t know what to make of it, really, so they’re just panicking at this point. It’s rough out here.
As much as i love Joel, this team needs to be blown up, Joel isn’t winning this team anything while here, trade him while he has value and rebuild around a young stud in Maxey https://t.co/hkgDEi4vDa

He’s probably just trolling. But there’s also a chance that he’s not. What do we make of it? No idea. I just hope 76ers fans can find some peace someday. That’s all.
Good luck, y’all. You’re going to need it.
