Recently, former NBA player Marcus Morris talked about his former teammate Embiid in a live broadcast.

Morris Jr. believes that Embiid does not train hard enough but still performs well on the court. He said: "I had just come from another team at that time, and I had seen how hard players at that level trained, but I didn't see him doing the same thing. To be honest, it confused me a little bit, because his game data was still amazing... Bro, he scored 70 points last year. And he didn't warm up at all. Really - he didn't warm up at all.

"Maybe he got to the court 22 minutes before the game started - bro, it was 23 minutes before the game - and then he went and scored 70 points. So I guess what he was thinking was: ‘Even if I don’t warm up, I’m better than these ** guys’. "

On January 23, 2024, the 76ers defeated the Spurs 133-123 at home. Embiid made 24 of 41 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 21 of 23 free throws, scoring 70 points (a career high), and 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block!
