Simmons on Embiid: When people try to annoy him, frustrate him, he wants to be great. You can see it

76ers rookie Ben Simmons said that Joel Embiid feeds off the energy on the floor during the games.


Per ESPN, Embiid also had a flareup with Celtics guard Terry Rozier during the first half that resulted in double technical fouls. Sixers forward Ben Simmons said Embiid tends to feed off that energy.
"The way Jo handles himself on the floor is great. He feeds off the energy, so for somebody to frustrate him and get under his skin, he goes harder when he gets to the rim," said Simmons. "When people try to annoy him and frustrate him, he wants to be great and you can see it."
