Things in Philadelphia are a little weird right now, as Sixers fans are frustrated with how their team hasn’t been living up to expectations thus far into the season.
A lot of those frustrations have been directed at star center Joel Embiid, who angered more fans on Monday night with his reply to former teammate Jimmy Butler’s comment on Instagram.
Well, Embiid was greeted with boos during player introductions in Philadelphia before tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
But it didn’t take him long to win them back over after the game began.
First, here was in introduction before the game:

There was a louder cheer for Furkan Korkmaz during introductions here in Philadelphia than there were for Joel Embiid. Not only that, but Embiid got plenty of boos. Things have gone in quite the direction here in Philly of late.

This situation should only get more interesting as the season goes on. Or just how this game goes on.
