The Philadelphia 76ers held a private meeting to address team struggles, but details quickly leaked, causing frustration for star player Joel Embiid. Coach Nick Nurse confirmed the meeting occurred but declined to elaborate further.

Tyrese Maxey reportedly called out Embiid for his off-court habits, a message that seemed to resonate with the All-Star. Despite Embiid's strong performance in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, the team continues to struggle with a 2-12 record this season.
