After shooting 6 3's in the Philadelphia 76ers' 121-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Joel Embiid said he felt disrespected by the space the Lakers were giving him on the perimeter.

“I don’t like shooting 3’s, but you’re not going to disrespect me by giving me a lot of space. In that situation, I’m going to shoot it. I’m Joel. I’m Joel Embiid. I don’t get disrespected. I do the disrespecting.”

Embiid is currently shooting 31% on 3's this season with 3.9 attempts per game.

Embiid suffered an injury scare late in the game and went to the locker room after hurting his back. Embiid later said that his back was fine.
