76ers' Nick Nurse sounds off on report that LeBron James has gotten on Joel Embiid for being late
Joel Embiid and LeBron James have been a storyline since Monday's preseason opener. 76ers head coach Nick Nurse gave his take on the whole Embiid and James misinterpretation.
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse responded to a report that LeBron James had reprimanded Joel Embiid for being late to a preseason practice. The misinformation originated from New York Knicks announcer Mike Breen, who made the claim during a broadcast. Breen's statement was later retracted after James denied the incident, leading Breen to issue a public apology.
Nurse expressed surprise at the report, praising Embiid's excellent performance and hard work during practices. He emphasized that the team would not allow such negative rumors to tarnish their reputation, especially before the season begins. Nurse reaffirmed his support for all his players, stating that they are a united and special team.
