Maxey and Embiid, who have not yet played together in the Sixers' 2-11 start, have a deep friendship outside of their All-Star on-court partnership. The team met after its 106-89 loss in Miami.that delayed coach Nick Nurse’s postgame news conference and locker-room player interviews by more than an hour Monday after a 106-89 loss at the Miami Heat, which dropped their record to a dreadful 2-11.
During the period when the locker room was open to reporters following Monday’s meeting, Embiid spoke to Lowry and went over to talk to Maxey, whose space was across the room. When asked about the meeting during his media session a few minutes later, Embiid responded, “Oh, we had a meeting?”against the Heat with an illness, after fully participating in Sunday’s practice, Nurse said. After missing that morning’s shootaround, Embiid was downgraded to doubtful.
Embiid said entering the season that he hoped to “empower” teammates more, rather than putting up the shot volume that made him the NBA’s leading scorer from 2021-23. But because of the Sixers’ poor record, Embiid said Monday that he might need to change that approach and “be more aggressive” in upcoming games.
