Embidd, paying homage to team’s Mike Scott, said laughing, “Well, first of all, I ain’t no (expletive). There was not a lot talking. This happened out of nowhere and I just did what I needed to do and it happens a lot.”
Embidd never said anything in the game that started this fight.
He said, “I don’t know but I guess that during last season, we got them turning over the ball and my hand was staying tangled up with him. And the next thing I knew, he was holding me and then we were holding each other. But this is basketball. That is what I am really good at. I like to get in the minds of people.”
Sixers ended up winning the game by 117-95 to be the only team with an unbeaten record of 4-0 in the Eastern Conference in the season yet. As for the Wolves, they lost their first game of the season.
