The Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks renewed their rivalry on Wednesday night as the two teams met at the Wells Fargo Center. While the two teams are headed in completely different directions, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any fireworks whenever these two teams meet.

That was the case on Wednesday as Sixers big man Joel Embiid and Knicks forward Marcus Morris Sr. got into it a bit in the second quarter. Embiid was getting in position for an offensive rebound when Morris pulled him down to the ground. The result was double technical fouls called on each player and Morris was called for a flagrant-1 foul before play resumed.

After it was over, Morris had a few words for Embiid:

He’s just too big to be flopping, just to be flopping and grabbing. I’m just not the one who’s going to take that so, he knows that. He knows what I’m about.

The Sixers and the Knicks will meet again on November 29 at Madison Square Garden. [lawrence-related id=19736,19725,19727]
