Prior to the start of Nets vs 76ers, Joel Embiid has often and evidently shared his frustration with Simmons and his attitude after he returned. To recall, the 26-year-old was suspended in their season opener for his blow-up with Doc Rivers during practice. 

“At the end of the day, our job is not to babysit somebody,” Embiid said prior to the start of the season. “We get paid for on the court, go out and play hard, win some games, that’s what we get paid for. We don’t get paid to come out here and try to babysit somebody. That’s not our job, and I’m sure my teammates feel that way.”
