The issue appears to stem from a play where Embiid fouled Westbrook on a break, sending him hard to the floor.

Embiid didn't shy away from commenting on what transpired.
"I think I was going for the block and I think he lost the ball, but I was already in the air," Embiid said, according to Jessica Camerato. "I don't know what, why he was mad. I have no idea. But he's always in his feelings, so I have no idea."
