Sixers star Joel Embiid and Drake, a musician hailing from Toronto, are offering up a sideshow to the Raptors-76ers Eastern Conference semis, with Game 6 set for Thursday.
Embiid and the Sixers got absolutely wrecked by Drake’s hometown Raptors, 125-89, Tuesday in Toronto. Embiid and Drake had a brief but sharp exchange as the big man walked off the court, Embiid telling him, “I’ll be back.”
He’s referring to a Game 7 in Toronto, which would take place on Sunday. But because the Sixers trail the Raptors 3-2 in the series, they need to win Game 6 on Thursday in Philadelphia.
